WHAT WE DO BEST

LISTEN

To get to grips with the real issues you are facing and to work out what could be done to move forward 

ENGAGE

To work with you in being creative and proactive and to suggest solutions and ways forward 

PERSEVERE

To ensure every avenue really has been explored and exhausted and there is no other way forward before you proceed with your battle

My years of experience fighting as a leading litigator means I can quickly grasp the important issues in play between parties, and that I have the skills to ensure the parties focus on securing a resolution.

I have a keen interest in and am committed to ensuring that parties exhaust all options to resolve their differences.  In a confidential, creative and safe environment, surprising results can be achieved by empowering parties to think creatively and assess the real risks of continuing with litigation.

Although well versed in complex, high value commercial and international disputes, I also have a genuine passion for dispute resolution more broadly and enjoy mediating a breadth of disputes.  I find my years of experience of dealing with different negotiating styles invaluable in tackling a broad range of issues.  I have been recommended for mediations where there are strong personalities within the parties’ groups, and where there may be some reluctance by one or more parties to recognise mediation as a credible way forward.

  • I AM FIRM BELIEVER THAT WITH THE RIGHT LEVEL OF ENERGY AND OPTIMISM, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. IT TAKES DRIVE AND COMMITMENT TO IDENTIFY AND EXPLORE ALL POSSIBLE OPTIONS AND, WITH THE RIGHT APPROACH, MEDIATION CAN BE A VERY EFFICIENT AND SATISFYING WAY TO BRING A DISPUTE TO A CLOSE AND ALLOW EVERYONE TO MOVE FORWARD.
