Insolvency disputes include disputes over preferential payments, uncommercial transactions, insolvent trading and breaches of directors' duties.
David also conducts mediations in property areas such as co-ownership disputes, commercial and retail lease disputes and disputes regarding claims in relation to ownership claims from constructive or resulting trusts.
David believes that, whilst in some circumstances, continued litigation is unavoidable, the majority of disputes can be resolved through a close examination of the issues, a greater understanding of the position of the other parties, a realistic consideration of a party's own position and a recognition of the costs, risk and perils of litigation. If there is any prospect that a matter can be resolved, it should be - it is normally in everybody's best interest.

TESTIMONIALS
David struck the balance of being assistive, but impartial. He conducted the mediation with integrity and his knowledge of litigation, and the court process, was critical in putting the issues into perspective. I would highly recommend David
We found the mediator to be knowledgeable regarding the relevant law and to have prepared well in respect to the materials and the issues at hand. This was useful in assisting the parties deal with relevant matters in resolving the dispute.
Whilst our client would naturally have liked more , you did a great job in explaining & carrying it all through
Days like today you feel as though you’re fighting your clients as much as the other side so it’s good having a sensible and experienced Mediator like yourself there to assist in the process that is seeing reason in matters like those.
