Why choose me as a Mediator?

The most important lesson I’ve learned in my many years as a lawyer
is that mediation shouldn’t be the last resort.

As an Accredited Mediator and Business Law Specialist,
I give a friendly, practical and down-to-earth approach.

Broad experience

Having spent over 40 years working in many different areas of litigation and been a Business Law Specialist for over 20 years, I’ve been involved in a wide variety of transactions and have acted for parties in all types of disputes, so I understand the risks and the cost benefits of running a court case and the value of choosing to mediate.

Flexibility

As a Mediator, you can’t be a dogmatic person, and you can’t be inflexible. I’m very flexible in my approach, and I’m very persistent. To facilitate a dispute, you may need to tell some uncomfortable truths.

creativity

I’m a good active listener and will always look for creative solutions to resolve disputes. Ideally, the relationship between the opponents will be preserved to some extent.
