Avoid the financial, emotional, and psychological burdens that come with going to court

Resolve Disputes on Your Terms

Mediation with a trusted dispute resolution specialist

Complete Control

You’re in charge of the process, cost, timing, and outcome, ensuring a solution that aligns with your needs.

Tailored Process

The mediation is personalised for each party’s situation, not a scripted, formulaic process like many mediators use. This approach enhances the chances of a successful resolution.

Respectful Space

A non-judgmental environment built on mutual trust and respect, where you feel comfortable expressing your views and working toward resolution.

Be heard, feel safe, and take control.

You deserve the opportunity to resolve the dispute yourself, with the power to shape the outcome rather than having it dictated by others.

Facing a Dispute?

Stay out of court and find the right mediator

Litigation is costly and emotionally taxing

Court proceedings are expensive and adversarial, creating stress and often damaging your personal and business relationships.

You lose control of the outcome

In court, decisions rest with the judge, where factors outside your control can impact your case, regardless of its strength.

Court cases are drawn-out and disruptive

The lengthy process brings uncertainty, stalling progress and adding to the emotional toll.

Impersonal mediation services can fall short

Many mediators rely on formulaic approaches, lacking the empathy and attention necessary to foster true resolution.

I Understand the Burden of Disputes and the Power of Resolution

As a litigation specialist, I understand the financial, emotional, and psychological weight that court proceedings can place on everyone involved.

That’s why I guide parties toward mediation as a more efficient, respectful alternative to litigation—a path where you can resolve disputes on your own terms, without the adversarial pressures of the courtroom.

For me, mediation isn’t just about reaching an agreement; it’s about creating a safe and supportive environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. I work to facilitate open, honest communication, helping all parties shape outcomes they can confidently stand behind.

In this process, I aim to lift the burdens of conflict and give you peace of mind, knowing the decisions made truly reflect your values and goals.

By choosing mediation, you retain control over the outcome, experience a less stressful process, and leave with clarity and confidence in the path forward.

Tailored Mediation Services

Whether you need facilitative guidance, expert insight, or a final determination, my mediation services are designed to empower you to reach a resolution.

Facilitative Mediation

My facilitative mediation prioritises engaging all parties in open and constructive communication, focusing less on legal arguments and more on collaborative problem-solving.

With my solutions-oriented approach, participants guide the process, owning the pathway to mutually agreed outcomes.

This model fosters a safe, respectful, and confidential environment where each party feels empowered to express their views.

Built on mutual trust, genuine participation, and respect, this approach enhances the prospect of a successful resolution shaped by the parties themselves.

Expert Mediation

When a dispute requires guidance on complex points of law or procedure, expert mediation provides informed, impartial assistance.

While maintaining strict neutrality, I offer insights based over 20 years in legal practice, ensuring that all parties operate with a full understanding of legal considerations.

With my support, participants and their representatives gain clarity on key issues, allowing them to make informed decisions confidently and collaboratively.

This expert-led approach offers peace of mind, knowing that each step is guided by clear, balanced information.

Expert Determination

Expert determination offers parties a structured and decisive approach to resolving disputes.

When commercial agreements call for an independent practitioner to provide a binding or non-binding decision, I step in as an impartial authority, ensuring a fair and balanced outcome, without the added biases, costs or injustices of the courts.

With extensive experience in legal matters, I provide clear, authoritative determinations that bring resolution, clarity, and closure to complex issues—giving parties a practical and cost effective alternative to court.
