About

With over 25 years of experience as a solicitor, I bring a calm, impartial, and highly professional approach to every mediation. I aim to create a space where open, respectful dialogue can happen – and my approachable manner helps all parties feel at ease as we work toward a fair resolution.

I’m a fully qualified Civil and Commercial Mediator, as well as a trained Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) Mediator. I’m also an Associate Member of the Civil Mediation Council and a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. Over the years, I’ve handled a wide range of contractual disputes, including those involving employment, construction (JCT, NEC, FIDIC), mining, beverage sales, and electronic component distribution.

My experience covers both domestic and international matters – ranging from home extension issues to large-scale industrial projects in the gold mining sector. I’ve worked with individuals (including those with disabilities), companies, consultants, and local authorities, always maintaining a balanced and respectful approach.

In addition to mediation, I’ve served as a part-time Tribunal Judge, an arbitrator, and previously as a construction adjudicator on the TeCSA Adjudication Panel until 2020. This broad experience allows me to handle even the most complex disputes with insight and fairness.

If you’re looking for a mediator who combines legal expertise with empathy and professionalism, I’d be happy to help.
