What Our Clients Are Saying

We chose Nigel as our mediator and definitely benefitted from his well deserved reputation as a skilled family law practitioner and ADR specialist. I was particularly impressed with his professional guidance to help us both move towards our own resolution while taking into consideration our different needs and perspectives. Clearly an appropriate process for our restructuring.
