SHLA Midlands Region are pleased to invite you to join them for an in-person event on Housing Mediation Protocol.

We are pleased to invite you to our upcoming event on the 19th of November, which will be hosted at the offices of Anthony Collins in Birmingham. This event will feature Tom Russell, Mediator at St Ives Chambers, as the keynote speaker.

Tom Russell, has 30 years of experience in litigation, having worked as a solicitor from 1995 to 2004, and as a self-employed barrister since then. Since 2007, he has also been practising as a mediator and has led over 150 mediation sessions. At this stage of his career, Tom is focusing more on mediation, which he considers to be the optimal form of dispute resolution.

The event will focus on the Housing Mediation Protocol, a framework created by Tom Russell, working in partnership with solicitors, to facilitate the negotiated resolution of housing-related disputes. This voluntary protocol aims to help clients resolve issues in housing cases such as disrepair complaints, rent arrears, anti-social behaviour, and more, while avoiding the costs and uncertainties of litigation.

Tom will guide us through the various stages of the protocol, including the opportunity for early fixed-price mediation, the chance to engage in ongoing mediations with the same mediator, and how it can help resolve disputes efficiently and amicably.

We encourage all members to attend this insightful session, which will be followed by networking drinks and food, providing a great opportunity to connect with fellow professionals.

Join us for this in-person event including networking and refreshments, kindly hosted by Anthony Collins, 134 Edmund Street, Birmingham B3 2ES.
