We have a 95% mediation success rate in the field of contentious probate law
Our contentious probate team, which has a 95% mediation success rate, can assist with mediating legacy disputes and can work on a No Win, No Fee basis.
Our contentious probate team undertook no less than 20 mediations during the course of 2023. Of those 20 mediations, 19 resulted in a settlement being reached. That represents a 95% mediation success rate for our team.
The cases we dealt with at mediation covered a full range of contested Wills and contentious probate cases, from invalid Wills, to inheritance Act claims, and executor disputes.
Mediation traditionally took place in person, usually at a neutral venue. However, that changed during the pandemic, and we now find that a large proportion of our mediations take place online.
The success rate of dealing with contentious probate cases at mediation is one of the principal benefits of using this form of alternative dispute resolution. Mediation is also quicker than conventional court proceedings and, importantly, much cheaper.
Because trustees and charity administrators have a legal duty to act in the charity’s best interests and manage resources responsibly when a legal dispute arises, they are encouraged to embrace mediation as a means of resolving legacy disputes. You can read more about why mediation should always be considered in a legacy dispute HERE.
Our team will be happy to provide guidance to anyone within a charity who wishes to know more about how mediation can help their organisation.
We are also willing to consider dealing with the mediation of any legacy dispute on a No Win, No Fee basis.
