John's general approach to mediation is to move as swiftly as possible into identifying and dealing with the wider interests and key concerns of the parties, with a view to establishing any common ground.  He prides himself on his ability to listen to and understand the issues people in conflict have and is a strong believer in the capacity of individuals, with the aid of a good mediator, to reach a solution to their problems without leaving them in the hands of the Courts.

John is held in high regard for his open and approachable attitude and strong reputation for his work in the law.  He has a huge depth of experience in dealing with a wide variety of commercial transactions and civil disputes but he can mediate any dispute, including in the following areas:

John's Testimonials

John acted as a mediator on a legal dispute that I was instructed on.  The mediation resulted in a settlement of the dispute satisfactory to both sides.  John's assistance to the parties in the process of reaching a settlement was valuable and cost effective.  John displayed integrity and professionalism and I would recommend him as a mediator within his practice areas.
