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.
What I do
Mediating different cases across diverse sectors
Commercial disputes
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 disputes
Workplace disputes
I support colleagues, who find themselves struggling to communicate effectively, to express and hear the key issues from one another and to move into a mutually-beneficial and constructive working relationship.
Wills, Trust and Probate disputes
I work with individuals and families in a careful and sensitive manner to explore all aspects of a situation. This enables parties to negotiate an agreement that brings the dispute to a close.
