Testimonials

“I attended ADR Group’s Civil & Commercial Mediation Training course in London, led by the superb Andrew Goodman. The course was excellent and its administration flawless– as a commercial litigator I could see that the insight provided and the expertise displayed in compiling and providing the material were second to none. The course was challenging, but the support that we received made the experience so worthwhile.

The training has given me a far greater appreciation of what the role requires than I had before and made me confident in my ability to act as mediator, moving forward. I am very grateful to Andrew and ADR Group.”

“Wished I had trained with ADR Group for my commercial & civil training”
