Peter Vinden

Peter is a Chartered Quantity Surveyor, Arbitrator, Adjudicator and Expert Determiner with 25 years’ experience of mediating commercial disputes. He mediates construction, engineering, professional negligence, banking, finance and insurance disputes throughout the UK and Europe. Parties repeatedly select Peter for his mediation style which is best described as creative, totally committed, robust, and realistic. He will not hesitate to adopt an evaluative approach to a mediation where a facilitative style is likely to result in failure and is repeatedly appointed by Parties who require a committed and “hands on” approach to mediation. Whilst having a collaborative approach to mediation, he has a reputation for being both direct and evaluative in his interventions, assisting parties to find realistic and workable solutions. His experience of sitting as a decision making tribunal is invaluable to parties who seek a mediator who is also experienced in issuing in awards, decisions and determinations. Peter is listed on all the major panels including CEDR, the RICS, RICS Scotland, RIBA, CIArb, TECSA, CIC, IMI, ADR Group and the London Court of International Arbitration. Peter has been appointed in over 1,000 cases since 1999. He is passionate about mediation and in engaging with Parties to help them find and settle disputes with solutions which are of their own making.
