Referral Information for Solicitors


Having practised as solicitors ourselves, we appreciate how busy solicitors are. Our aim is to reduce the burden on you, rather than add to it. Please feel free to make a referral in whatever format is easiest for you – that may be by telephone, email, referral form or letter. If you do not have one of our referral forms and want to use this method, download the latest version below. You can even fill it on-line and e-mail it back to us.

Once we receive a referral, we will do the rest. We can usually offer an initial assessment meeting within
5-10 working days so that you and your client know quickly whether mediation is going to be a way forward or whether matters are going to have to be dealt with through solicitors and if necessary the court process. If mediation starts, we also recognise how important it is for you to be kept informed of what is going on. We will therefore keep you aware of what stage mediation has reached and, with your client’s consent, send you copies of any Financial Statements, Mediation Summaries or Memoranda of Understanding that we prepare. Experience has shown again and again that mediation works best when mediators and solicitors work alongside each other in the client’s best interests.
