GLEAMED Mediators - Robin Bramley
Mediation Background
My professional life has revolved around securing objectives for clients, by negotiation. I have extensive experience of Dispute Resolution, as an Arbitrator, and as an Independent Expert Adjudicator, and of Court procedures as an Expert Witness. This background has led me naturally to mediation, which provides a far better method of finding practical answers to difficult problems, without the risks, costs, delays and general damage of seeking imposed solutions. My mediation work has now increased to a level which has enabled me to set up an independent specialist practice in 2003, operating throughout England.
Mediation Experience
I have acted as mediator in a wide range of disputes. My appointments generally stem from one or more of the following factors:
- General relevant business experience
- Over 30 years as a property professional
- A lifetime’s knowledge of farming
Settlements have been reached in the very large majority of my cases and I have a very high success rate in cases where the parties are personally well known to each other and agreement is not expected by them or their advisors.
