Civil and commercial mediation. Currently doing lots of mediations in insolvency, professional negligence, shareholder disputes TOLATA and contested probate and property.
I have been appointed lead mediator in over 800 mediations.
Accredited online mediator since 2015 and have done over 200 online mediations.
After leaving Oxford with a history degree I worked for the Government and then changed and qualified as a solicitor in 1978. I trained at Bischoffs in the City and then became a partner in DJ Freeman.
In 1984 I set up my own firm Bray Walker - specialising in litigation particularly for the LLoyd's Insurance market, insolvency, employment and art law for the London art market. I sold the firm and retired as a solicitor in 2013 and now work full time as a mediator.

He is extremely experienced and very user-friendly. He is also not afraid to be tough. He cuts to the chase and doesn't allow time-wasting.
He is the best mediator I have ever had. He focuses on getting the deal done and builds a rapport on both sides. He is fantastic.
When he is mediating, you know you have the best possible chance of reaching an agreement with the other side. He understands all the issues and has all the requisite people skills.
