Style
Andrew’s style is straightforward. He manages a process which enables the parties to negotiate realistically with a view to achieving a position where they can make a decision. By far the majority of Andrew’s mediations result in settlement and Andrew manages the mediation with a view to ensuring that clients obtain value even if they decide not to settle.
