Cape Mediators

Mediation is all about listening to the evidence, helping the clients come to understand each other’s viewpoint regarding the controversy, and then facilitating the negotiation of a voluntary resolution.

Michael J Hopwood is a seasoned, accredited commercial / court aligned mediator who trained at the University of Cape Town’s Law Faculty.

He was self-employed for most of his working life, starting with owning a landscaping company for 17 years. He then decided to make a change into the commercial and industrial property sector. Since then he has run a successful brokerage for the past 18 years.

Along the way, Michael attained a master’s degree at the university of “life of hard knocks” and that brought him to the point where making a meaningful difference in people’s lives became more important than chasing money.
