Prior to qualifying as a mediator in 2009, Robin set up, grew and modestly successfully sold three start-up businesses of his own as well as being involved in his family’s third generation family business which fell into administration in the financial crisis. Robin was involved in his own personal commercial dispute as a claimant which itself settled at mediation. He is therefore uniquely placed to be particularly effective in understanding the commercial, relationship, risk and strategic issues involved with disputes. Robin quickly builds rapport with clients who value his approachability, responsiveness and pragmatic, problem solving and solution focussed outlook.
Robin also sits as a judge, arbitrator and adjudicator. Previously Ombudsman at the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Robin is a Fellow of the Civil Mediation Council and Chartered Institute of Arbitrators and holds a Masters in Law in International and Comparative Dispute Resolution from the Centre for Commercial Law Studies at Queen Mary University of London.
For over 15 years, Robin has been involved in resolving a wide range of disputes. He has mediated, acted as a mediation advocate or negotiated settlements in commercial contract, debt, professional negligence, directors’ guarantees, landlord and tenant, unlawful eviction, unlawful interference, shareholder, employment and breach of trust disputes. He is an accredited workplace investigator.
In his early career, Robin spent 4 years as a money market and derivatives trader for one of the world’s largest banks
