About Us

GLEAMED

Greater London and East Anglia Mediation LLP(GLEAMED)was established as a Regional mediation provider in April 2008 and is a member of The Civil Mediation Council and is registered with the Courts as a Mediation provider. We have a panel of multi-disciplined, insured and accredited mediators able to handle most types of disputes, including; international, public-private sector, business, commercial, personal injury and negligence, as well as boundary, cohabitation and other property related matters, and community issues. The experience and professional backgrounds of our panel enable GLEAMED to provide a comprehensive mediation service matched to the circumstances of the dispute concerned.

GLEAMED provides mediation services either at the request of the parties concerned, to facilitate an agreement that avoids the time, trouble and expense of a judicial hearing before disputes are referred to the Courts, or later, after the matter has reached court and mediation has been directed by the Judge before proceeding further.

Disputes

Disputes can all too quickly and easily escalate into acrimonious, intractable feuds and lead to lengthy, complex litigation. However, GLEAMED has considerable experience in mediating disputes, often on neutral territory, to achieve an outcome that all parties can live with. A GLEAMED mediator engaging fully with both parties and using tried and tested techniques will usually be able to facilitate the development of an acceptable agreement that will avoid the time, trouble and potentially very considerable expense of contested litigation.

Use of Solicitors or Advisers during Mediation

You may have your solicitor or adviser present throughout the mediation but sometimes, parties do not wish to have representatives present and the mediator will then work with the parties on their own. In the latter case, the option remains for the parties to seek legal or other advice before entering into an agreement. Once an agreement is reached, the mediator will encourage the parties to commit it to writing, so that it becomes enforceable.

If appointed, one of your representative’s main tasks is to advise you as to whether you should enter the agreement. They should also advise you on whether the agreement alone is sufficient, or whether it should be embodied as a court order, or some other steps taken to ensure that it takes effect.

Venues

GLEAMED is based in Colchester but has offices and mediation venues available in London and around East Anglia.
