Reviews for Setting Up in Business as a Mediator

I have just read your book and I wanted to say congratulations. It is well designed as it covers a lot of ground but in enough detail for the reader to know what to do next. -- Martin Ellis, Ellis Mediation Limited This book is exactly what I needed 15 years ago, and with it, I would possibly now be a very successful full-time mediator instead of a full-time forensic accountant who flirts with mediation. With this book, anyone who is determined to become a successful mediator has all the guidance and all the tools needed...use it well, and things most certainly will happen. I heartily recommend it. -- The Expert & Dispute Resolver * Review of previous edition * Unique in being both really practical and truly inspirational, the book offers hope and guidance to mediators at every stage of their career, whilst giving a good idea of the time, money and effort involved if you are going to succeed. -- Law Society Gazette * Review of previous edition * ...packed full of information and guidance as to the nuts and bolts of setting up a mediaton business...[it is] a very useful guide for anyone considering beginning or improving a mediation business; it covers a range of business essentials in an engaging way, with a mediator's perspective throughout -- Bookshelf - Civil Engineering Surveyor * Review of previous edition *
