Individual Editorial
Oliver Hallam works on civil and commercial mediations. His legal background in private client law gives him the in-depth expertise to navigate a range of disputes across different areas, including property, employment, probate and professional negligence.
Strengths
He's well prepared and versed on the issues and takes time to get to know the individuals and facilitate a resolution.
He's all the things you hope to find in a mediator. He is able to grasp the legal complexities and he is stern but fair with the parties.
His likeable nature and no-frills demeanour belie his commercial astuteness.
Oliver was an outstanding mediator. He showed great emotional intelligence but was able to reality-test in a direct manner when it mattered.
