Testimonials

“… we were heard and were given enough time to come to a decision that worked for us.
Mediation worked well and a resolution was found which I am happy with.”

Party to mediation

“Laurence has been a volunteer mediator with THMP since 2019. He has a professional, confident approach and is calm, steadfast and respectful. He has the perfect temperament, knowledge and skills for mediating.

I have mediated with him personally which was a very positive experience. He was very supportive to both parties and instrumental in helping them to reach an agreement.

Laurence is a valued member of our team.”

Irene Grindell
(as The Tower Hamlets Mediation Project Manager http://www.thmp.uk)

“Your presence during the meeting with the other side where a settlement was eventually reached was invaluable. Had I been there on my own I suspect the meeting would have been shorter and louder with a far less successful outcome.
I cannot thank you enough for all your help and advice. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone who is looking for a lawyer who is equally at home whether litigating or mediating, and who understands not just the law but also the commercial realities of running a small business.”

Managing Director of SME

“I am very grateful for how Laurence handled this  and how helpful he was – not only in getting a larger sum of the money claimed than I was expecting at various times but also in guiding my thinking in how to handle things.  I really appreciated Laurence’s advice and patient approach along the way.”

Co-founder and director of a corporate client

“I have had the pleasure to work with Laurence on a few occasions, but in particular on one bigger project… we had after years finally the opportunity to settle and Laurence had guided us towards the completion of such settlement. His advice was clear in his analysis, calm about our chances and risks and to the point which way to go – and in particular for the benefit of the insolvency estate… he easily understands and handles different legal concepts without making a fuss about it. To me, this is really important when working with co-counsel abroad. Much appreciated!”
