About Me

Shaun Jardine

I have been helping people resolve disputes through mediation for over 20 years. I qualified as a mediator in 2001, when I first became involved in community mediation on a pro-bono basis primarily dealing with neighbour disputes and anti-social behaviour cases.

In 2006, I was appointed as the lead mediator for Banbury County Court during the court services week. Since 2006 commercial mediation has become more popular, however, I am firmly of the view it still has a long way to go.

I have mediated numerous cases both as a solicitor acting for my own clients and as a mediator resolving disputes between others.

I have acted as mediator on a wide variety of cases including:

  • Boundary and neighbour disputes

  • Disputes in relation to Section 106 Agreements

  • Landlord and Tenant Disputes

  • Inheritance Act /Will dispute claims

  • Professional negligence claims accountants/surveyors and solicitors

  • Building disputes

  • Recovery of local authority care payments

  • Mortgage shortfall claims

  • Partnership disputes

  • Contract disputes 

  • Property disputes

  • Intellectual property/ownership of software

  • Debt recovery

 

I essentially bring experience to the table. I listen and allow parties to be heard. I am not a judge and I do not act like one. I mediate in an informal and relaxed manner. I do not push the parties to meet with each other unless they wish to do so, and both agree. I am a firm believer that the parties control the process. I aim to be tough on the issues but soft on the parties. I strive to push the parties towards a settlement, after all, that is what I am getting paid for.
