    Episode 11 - Reducing the stress of conflict/divorce - Nicola Crowther

    Wow!!! Another incredibly eye opening episode with business owner and award winning Mediator, Nicola Crowther of Crowther Mediation. You can save yourself a bomb in time and money using mediation as a means of settling all kinds of legal disputes - including divorce. Who knew!!! I wish I had known Nicola and her team 6 years ago!! 🙄 Nicola and I delve into what mediation is, how she moved away from being a solicitor in to mediation and so much more.... A must listen for anyone who is experiencing a legal conflict and would like a quicker, calmer and way more cost effective resolution than battling it out with solicitors and the courts. About Nicola: After a successful career practicing Civil, Commercial and Family Law in the North East for over twelve years, Nicola retrained as a Mediator in 2010. Nicola is an accredited member of the Family Mediation Council and the Civil Mediation Council.
