"International Commercial Arbitration

The firm has targeted India and South America as growth areas and this has been reflected in its assignments. Stephen York, an active panel member of the LCIA, is very experienced."

"Litigation: Mediators

The star of (his firm's) litigation department in London, Stephen York, has long been a champion of ADR and is very well respected as a mediator."

"Litigation: Commercial Dispute Resolution

(His firm) has a reputation for finding creative solutions to disputes, with Stephen York a trail-blazer in the field of mediation."


Chambers says:

"Delightfully wild and mercurial," he is seen as an "idiosyncratic and powerful personality." He has "a very good grasp of the issues, the necessary powers of persuasion and is able to get people in the right frame of mind."

Why mediate with Consensus?:

mediation works ...It's often difficult to see what's really going on in a dispute - mediation cuts to the issues

"... because it helps the parties to resolve even the most difficult disputes in a practical way. It deals with their real interests and needs without the risks and costs of further court proceedings. The parties achieve their own solution without an imposed decision."

consensus mediation's role ensures that...

  • Mediators remain wholly impartial and focused on the dispute because we handle all the fee negotiations, contracts and documents;
  • Mediators do not become disqualified from acting (even by perception) because of previous direct or frequent instructions from one party or solicitor;
  • Our experienced case managers can help smooth out pre-mediation communications between representatives in highly charged or multi-party disputes;
  • Clients and their solicitors can concentrate on the case while we sort out all the administration and logistics.

why choose consensus mediation...?

We quote an inclusive fee for the mediator's time and the administration of the entire mediation process. Consensus Mediation does not charge for "overtime" or for any other hidden extras. Consensus Mediation engages the best mediators from all over the country, so we can find the right person in the right place to help resolve your dispute.
