Mediation
Get the result that is best for you
Mediation is a form of Alternative Dispute Resolution; that is a way to resolve a dispute other than relying on a judge. Mediation is confidential and without prejudice. this provides a safe space for parties to explore a mutually beneficial resolution to a dispute without disrupting their legal claims. Mediation can be an incredibly powerful process, providing parties with certainty and helping to renew a relationship that may once have been seen as irretrievably lost.
As a trained mediator I help the parties understand their position to empower them to see the benefit of reaching agreement to resolve a dispute. I have a vast knowledge of rural issues from my own direct experience of growing up on a farm and from my experience of assisting farming businesses and families
It is said that mediation only works when people want to settle a dispute. I don't agree with this opinion. All that mediation requires of an individual is an ability to listen and consider. From that listening and thought an individual is able to step back and understand their position and that of the other party. It is listening and thought which leads to a solution which works, not an overriding desire to settle.
Mediation can take place in person or virtually. As a process, it is highly flexible and can accommodate multiple parties. For more information download my factsheet below.

Accreditation
Arbitration
Like a Court but different
I am currently studying for a qualification as an arbitrator. My last (5 hour!) exam takes place on 2 October 2024 and I hope to start offering arbitration services by the beginning of 2025.
