Core Mediation has announced the appointment of Morag Wise QC to its group of mediators.

Announcing the appointment, Core said that according to Chambers UK Guide to the Legal Profession, there is “near universal acclaim” that she is “without doubt the very top advocate” in her field. 

John Sturrock, Core’s Chief Executive, said: “Morag’s outstanding experience in the family area will offer clients the benefits of mediation with someone who has a deep understanding of family issues.”

Philip Thornton, senior partner of Russel and Aitken said: “I spend a good deal of my time trying to encourage family law clients to find ways of resolving their differences without resorting to the courts. If clients find it difficult to negotiate settlements through their lawyers a mediation session could be beneficial and the costs easily justified compared with the alternative. Having a mediator with the gravitas of Morag Wise would be seen in a very positive light.”
