South East law firm TWM Solicitors has launched two specialist services to support the resolution of contentious probate, will and trust disputes as well as property disputes.
The new services build on the firm’s established family mediation practice, led by partner Sarah Archibald.
Leading TWM’s probate, will and trust mediation is Stuart Downey, who has practised both as a non-contentious private client lawyer and as a contentious trusts and estates specialist.
Meanwhile, Simon Burdett-Dixon will provide a parallel mediation offering in property disputes, bringing a deep understanding of the legal frameworks and commercial and personal realities that often sit behind property conflicts.
The services will support other lawyers and professional advisers seeking an effective and independent route to resolving disputes for their clients.
Jamie Berry, managing partner at TWM Solicitors, said: “We are seeing growing demand from fellow professionals for mediators who combine technical expertise with a practical approach to resolving disputes.
“By expanding our mediation offering across private client, property and family matters, we can support that demand while maintaining the independence and clarity that referrers and their clients expect.”
