Jane Senior

Short bio:

I have over 30 years’ experience in dispute resolution and am a natural mediator. I am recognised by other professionals and the legal directories as an expert in my field.

My particular areas of specialism are property and contentious probate disputes. I am also recognised as a boundary dispute expert, deal with co-ownership and beneficial interest issues, neighbour disputes, party walls, agricultural disputes, easements, restrictive covenants and overage as well as commercial landlord and tenant matters. In addition, I cover disputes about wills and Inheritance Act Claims.

I am an accredited mediator and believe that many disputes can be effectively resolved this way.

My aim is to assist the parties in finding a mutually acceptable resolution, on terms with which they feel as comfortable as possible. This in my experience is best undertaken in a calm environment where the parties are listened to carefully, so that their needs and objectives are fully understood.

I am happy to travel to mediations or conduct them remotely. With boundary or similar disputes, it has often proved helpful for me to view the site to best understand the issues and potential solutions. 

I sit on the panel of dispute mediators for the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, where our role is to encourage and assist parties to resolve boundary disputes without needing to go to court.
