Avoiding costly litigation
Lucy is extremely conscious of the costs involved with litigation and in addition, the stress that it can cause for clients. She is also a keen advocate of alternative dispute resolution and mediation as a really effective way to reach a prompt, cost effective and amicable settlement and this often helps restore a relationship. However, as with all negotiation, this is best undertaken from a position of strength: Lucy’s prowess as a litigator ensures that her settlement proposals are taken seriously.
