Mediation Services

Mediation is becoming increasingly popular as a means of resolving disputes without going to court.  Using a third party to facilitate a discussion exploring settlement is effective, costs saving and quick.  Evidence demonstrates that 75% to 80% of cases that go to mediation are resolved as a result.

Peter McCormick is a Chairman of the Sports Dispute Resolution Panel and the team at McCormicks has a wealth of experience in arbitrating and mediating on sports related disputes.

Iain Jenkins is a CEDR accredited Mediator and an accredited workplace Mediator and mediates disputes when instructed by other law firms and organisations.
