Andrew Hildebrand sees an important role for mediators in assisting private client lawyers to resolve family disputes

It's not always easy for private client lawyers to hold the balance when the families they represent fall out. Andrew Hildebrand discusses the various ways a mediator can help families find their way through the mire of disagreement and recrimination - to resolve contentious private client disputes, defuse family problems and prevent them escalating or to help them and their advisors navigate safely through succession problems or awkward financial decisions that are likely to have collateral impact......and sometimes, even steer them towards new and workable ways forward to repairing their relationships.
