Patrick Walker > IPOS Mediation > London, England > Lawyer Profile

Consistently ranked in tier 1 in both Chambers and Partners and Legal 500 directories, and with excellent feedback including in video mediations, Patrick is one of the UK’s busiest mediators.

Whilst in private practice, Patrick specialised in property law and has earned a reputation as a leader in that field, appearing in all courts, the Lands Tribunal and the Agricultural Land Tribunal. He now mediates full time whilst also sitting part-time as Recorder and Deputy High Court Judge. With over 15 years’ experience as a mediator he mediates most types of commercial disputes together with contentious probate and trust disputes and is frequently struck by the contrast between disillusioned parties at trial and satisfied parties at mediation. Legal directory references note that he provides ‘everything you want from a mediator’ and manages to combine ‘a measured professional and firm’ approach with a ‘light, friendly and inclusive’ touch. He brings a highly-informed and pragmatic approach to all disputes including property, broad commercial disputes and family and trust matters’.

Patrick conducts mediations with perception and authority in both his specialist field of property law and in a wide variety of commercial disputes including intellectual property and statutory undertakers and in areas as diverse as personal injury, nuisance and family and trust matters.  He is experienced in multiparty disputes and is equally used to working with Leading Counsel or litigants in person.  He works nationally and has a high success rate.
