She continues to develop her experience and practice as the use of mediation increases in this Scottish Year of Mediation.
Compass Practice Manager Gavin Herd said “We are delighted to welcome Angela back to practice on a full time basis. Whilst she was able to accept instructions as Vice Dean, her commitment to the role was such that it restricted her availability considerably so it is a huge boost to Compass to have her available full time once again.”
