Mediation is a better way of resolving disputes. No-one is sitting in judgment, no-one is making decisions for the parties.  

It is a means, using a skilled mediator as facilitator, to help parties reach an agreement which allows them to move on – with or without an ongoing relationship, perhaps allowing them to go their separate ways without the enormous jeopardy, cost and delay of litigation.

In a mediation, parties can reach agreement to do things which a judge would not be able to order.

Let’s do it better.

I bring to mediations my own experience in involvement in mediations and negotiations as legal adviser, and bringing my highly constructive, empathetic approach to facilitating the resolution of issues.
