Mediation is a dispute resolution process in which a neutral mediator assists the parties through constructive discussion and negotiation of their issues in order to reach a mutually acceptable resolution.

A commercial lease is the legally binding contract between a landlord and a business tenant that provides the tenant the right to use a specific property for commercial activity.

As the client, you will decide the general direction of your matter. As your lawyer, our job is to provide you with legal advice on the different options available to move your matter forward, including the pros, cons and costs associated with each. We will usually make a recommendation, but the final decision will be yours. We will then provide legal services necessary to carry out your instructions.

The length of a case, from the initial free consultation through to the resolution of the case by settlement or jury verdict, depends on several variables, so it is not possible to say exactly how long a case may take.

Many of our lawyers communicate by email or phone.

Certain communications between solicitor and client are absolutely confidential. You can give your lawyer all of the facts relevant to your matter without fear that prejudicial information will become public.
