Stephen Twist Facilitator: Still here

If you were to glance down to the blog archive you might believe that we were no longer here. We are, and since the previous blog entry relating to E-Mediation, have continued to resolve disputes, both face-to-face and virtually, across the North East and South East of England.

Whilst our approach to dispute resolution has barely changed, we have been more discerning in the cases we have taken, focusing on complex, multi-party challenges and cases with regional or national relevance.

Our reasoning was to devote more time - to fewer disputes. It made sense, for our clients wanted their facilitator to be present, ready and available, rather than off dealing with other cases.

If you wish to discuss our services, or simply chat about our approach to dispute resolution, feel free to send us an email. Even if we are unable to help we can readily refer you on to someone who can.
