I am an independent Civil and Commercial Dispute Mediator, helping individuals and organisations resolve their civil, commercial and professional disputes.

Typically I am appointed by lawyers on behalf of clients who are involved in - or about to be involved in - potentially expensive, time consuming and unpredictable litigation.

My approach to Mediation is to prepare thoroughly in advance in order to make sure I have a detailed understanding of the dispute and of the interests and needs of the parties, to really think about the issues involved and the potential challenges, then to work with energy and determination on the day itself to help steer the parties through to a successful conclusion.

My background is as a dispute resolution solicitor at one of the UK’s leading commercial law firms, where I was a Partner for over 25 years, gaining a wealth of experience from working with organisations and individuals to resolve their disputes, often through mediated out-of-Court settlements.

Over the past eight years I have successfully developed an independent mediation practice. Of the disputes I have mediated, a high proportion have been resolved successfully, either on the day of the mediation itself or within a short period afterwards. I am happy to mediate either in person or remotely.

I am a Civil Mediation Council registered Mediator, an ADR Group Accredited Civil & Commercial Mediator and a Panel Mediator with the Association of Northern Mediators. I am also a member of the Professional Negligence Lawyers’ Association.
