Arbitration
Andrew is a qualified Arbitrator dealing with financial remedy cases (including TOLATA cases) as well as cases under the Family Arbitration Children Scheme. Arbitration is an alternative way of resolving disputes without protracted court proceedings, and in many cases can provide a more cost effective and speedy outcome for families in respect of child arrangements and financial claims particularly given the current delays that many experience with the courts. Andrew is a Member of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators and the Institute of Family Law Arbitrators. He also offers a private financial dispute resolution (FDR) service.
