Of course, if you can come to some agreement through mediation then this is fantastic. The key in any won win situations is to intervene before the issue has become a huge thorn and cannot be resolve with support and discussion.

Hi Christopher,

I am a builder and have a a small construction company employing between 20 and 40 builders here in London.

Luckily I have never had any legal issues which required a lawyer to become involved. However, I read your article with interest as you never know what is around the corner. The mere thought of having a lawsuit to deal with on top of having to manage numerous building sites stresses me out indeed.

To be honest with you, I had actually never even considered mediation as an answer to a potential legal conflict, but it is somewhat reassuring that there are other ways to deal with both customers and perhaps even accidents at work than a legal conflict. (Although people may think differently there are not fortunes to be made at my level of the construction ladder, and paying a lawyer for a lengthy trial scares the living daylights out of me.)

I am being asked to go to mediation, what should i do first from your experiences. Should i retain counsel? If so does anyone have a good reliable, and successful firm that they can recommend.

There is also no legal reason i have to agree to this right? This would force them to pay legal fees and risk that part of the process, right?

Any thoughts,
