Anthony Glaister, the well-known Yorkshire based mediator, has joined In Place of Strife, The Mediation Chambers. He has been a leading light in developing mediation in the north-east of England, though his reputation now takes him all over the United Kingdom. Anthony has been a passionate advocate of mediation and all aspects of alternative dispute resolution for many years. His specialist field may be as a construction lawyer, but he is comfortable with most types of commercial and inter-personal disputes. Anthony also acts as Adjudicator and his pragmatic approach is well suited to parties seeking an effective and efficient decision on the merits. He is one of the very few mediators also specialising in Conciliation and Arbitration. He emphasises taking a common sense view and stresses that it need not ape the cumbersome litigation process.
