Area of Practice
Biography
ADR and ODR.
Nutshell: My experience as a mediator and litigator help me work with people and their lawyers to settle cases. Difficult claims and disputes call for a mediator with gravitas and in this respect I can draw on decades as a law firm senior partner and chair of boards of directors.
As a fully accredited mediator of more than 25 years, and having witnessed the growing trend by lawyers and litigants alike to take advantage of mediation, I can fully advocate the benefits of facilitated settlement. Mediation is a distinctly affordable, fast and risk-free way of resolving a dispute. Drawing on my extensive experience as a senior civil litigation lawyer, having represented both claimants and defendants equally, I have helped numerous parties across the UK in all manner of difficult disputes overcome their obstacles to settlement. No matter how complex the subject matter, no matter whom the parties, from litigants in person to multiple parties in high value claims, I enjoy the challenge of resolving conflict in otherwise “un-settleable” cases. I have contributed to the ADR editorial in the White Book, the Jackson ADR handbook and other notable publications.
