"Successful mediation relies on seeing synergy in conflicting ideas, mutual benefit in competing ambitions and a path to realise the vision."

THE APPROACH
"I focus on identifying the real issues before the commencement of a mediation so that I can assist the parties to “think outside the square” to achieve a resolution and align their interests."
