Effective Mediation
Looking for an experienced mediator with a track record of enabling parties to achieve settlement?
Mediation is a cost-effective way to resolve disputes using a neutral, third-party who facilitates the exploration of issues and solutions. Settlement moves clients from tension to relief; from deadlock to forward movement.
I work with clients to understand the key issues and what is needed to move on. I am able to have the tough conversations at the right time to help get a deal done.
Mediating different cases across diverse sectors
Commercial disputes
I have been a practising mediator since 2004 (CEDR accredited 2005). I have mediated successful disputes across a wide range of sectors, both public and private.
Experienced in two-party and multi-party disputes, my above-average settlement rate reflects a collaborative approach. I work effectively with every party to create a safe space where they can assess settlement options.
Employment & Workplace disputes
I support colleagues, who are struggling to communicate effectively to move into a constructive working relationship.
Wills, trust and probate disputes
I work with individuals and families in a sensitive manner to explore all aspects of a situation. This enables parties to negotiate an agreement that brings the dispute to a close.
