When conflict arises, whether in business, family, or the workplace, the stress can feel overwhelming. Court proceedings are expensive, time-consuming, and often make relationships worse. As we approach the New Year, I want to share a message about the future you can choose today.
The Tragedy of “The Day in Court”
After 30 years in UK law, I have seen thousands of disputes destroy relationships, businesses, and communities through lengthy, expensive court battles. The statistics from 2024-2025 are a warning to us all:
- Financial Ruin: A simple business dispute can cost £75,000+ per party. In some cases, legal fees actually exceed the entire value of an estate.
- Health and Wellness: 87% of people in litigation report sleep problems, and 61% require medication for anxiety or depression.
- Lost Time: The average time to reach a trial in the UK is 18–24 months.
- Relationship Devastation: 82% of supplier relationships and 77% of family bonds never fully recover after a public court battle.
“Every news story about a dispute that destroyed lives is a story of a mediation that didn’t happen. I stop these tragedies before they start. Let me stop yours.” Davinder Singh Bal
The Vision: A Conflict-Free 2026
Imagine a 2026 free from legal stress, mounting bills, and sleepless nights. That is the future mediation offers. Mediation is not just a “legal alternative”; it is a lifestyle choice that prioritizes your peace of mind.
- Speed: Resolve your dispute in 2–4 weeks instead of years.
- Cost: Mediation is typically 90% cheaper than litigation.
- Privacy: Unlike public court records, mediation is entirely confidential, protecting your professional reputation.
- Success: 75–85% of mediations reach a full agreement.
Resolution, Not Litigation
At Mediation Today, we help you find “face-saving” solutions that preserve dignity. Whether you are facing a partnership breakdown, an inheritance dispute, or a community conflict, my goal is to get you around the table not in front of a judge.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is mediation legally binding? Once a resolution is reached, we document the terms in a Memorandum of Understanding which can be made into a legally binding contract or Consent Order.
How do I start the process? The first step is a free 30-minute consultation where we discuss whether mediation is right for your specific situation.
