Leading North West legal practice Forbes Solicitors has joined forces with ADR Mediation and Training to offer independent mediation as part of its housing management services.

ASC Forbes offers Advice, Support and Consultancy for Housing Management and the new partnership offers a range of tailored options and support to help clients develop effective action plans.

ADR Mediation and Training is a community interest company which has grown its reputation and workforce to become one of the leading mediation services in the North of England.
