Profile
I am a recently retired solicitor having spent my working life working in litigation ad dispute resolution... as well as rising through the firm to become senior partner.
I have experience of both face to face and remote mediations. I believe that I bring a conciliatory approach to all mediations, looking for resolution and satisfaction for the parties. Nobody is "right" or "wrong" and the focus is on how to resolve issues rahter than how they arose.
I am able to travel nationwide and generally have good availability.
