Feedback digest by David Douglas, 13 Jul 2018 This feedback digest is based on 126 responses from more than 300 mediations, initially collected in November 2009. Solicitors and parties comment on Michel’s effortless blend of charm and authority, his easy manner and style coupled with his ability to set parties at their ease and to build trust and confidence. Feedback indicates that he has a broad knowledge of the law and a very realistic approach to encouraging settlement. He is considered to be robust in reality testing and getting clients to see the strength and weakness in their case. Respondents have noted that he is extremely knowledgeable and that this enables him to encourage parties to talk and resolve issues. Michel’s style has been described as versatile and effective and it has been commented that there is never a sense of coercion in the way he deals with the parties. It is felt, however, that he assists the parties to reach settlement in a far less round about manner than many other mediators. It is recognised and regularly stated that he is always well prepared and has a good knowledge of the issues involved in the case. On numerous occasions parties have referred to his commercially minded approach, coupled with the fact that he is described as a formidable lawyer who lives up to the QC tag regularly demonstrating his legal nous and ability to dissect an issue and pluck out the bits that need work. He is described as a gutsy mediator who is always prepared to go the extra mile. He is said to bring magic to the process which enables him to be recommended for highly complex issues. His peers have commented that he is a charming man whom people warm to and trust enormously. No negative feedback has been received and indeed a number of clients have suggested that they wish he could be cloned in order that he could undertake more appointments.
