Mediation and representation services

Whilst using the legal advice line could avoid potentially litigious and expensive situations.There are of course some cases which cannot be resolved over the telephone, are sufficiently complex to require the analysis of large quantities of documentation, or simply remain unresolved even when both parties have received independent legal advice.

In these cases the BVA’s new mediation service and/ or representation service may be the solution.

Member testimonial

I just wanted to send a quick e-mail to let you know how impressed I am with the legal representation service.  I was having a very difficult time at work and they were professional, helpful and reassuring in helping me in a very stressful situation.  Due to their excellent help and advice it did not go to an employment tribunal, but was fully sorted out.  I hope others make the most of this service and the mediation service..... this especially has shown me that it [BVA membership] is great value for money!
