Most mediators are generalists. Harvey is a property lawyer first. That dual expertise transforms how mediations run and how settlements land.
Property Lawyer First
Harvey understands Land Registry practice, the difference between a TR1 and a TP1, and the commercial pressures that drive property transactions. This is not something you can learn from a weekend mediation course.
70% Same-Day Settlement
CEDR's 2025 Mediation Audit reports that 70% of mediations settle on the day, with 87% reaching settlement overall shortly after mediation.
Fixed-Fee Certainty
No hourly billing surprises. Our transparent fee scale starts from £1,250 per party in a standard two-party mediation and covers preparation, the mediation day, and the settlement agreement.
Neutral, Not Passive
Harvey is an evaluative mediator. He will listen to both sides, test assumptions, and, where appropriate, offer a candid view of the merits. That directness is what breaks deadlocks.
Flexible Venue
Mediations can take place at our offices, at your offices, or virtually. We adapt to whatever arrangement works best for the participants and the nature of the dispute.
Conflict-Free
We are mediators, not litigators. We do not act for either participant in any subsequent proceedings. That independence is what makes the process trustworthy and the outcome durable.
