Mediation
I am an ADR Group accredited mediator and specialise in mediating disputes arising in the following situations:
Business sales
Supply chain disruption and contractor / sub-contractor relationships
Joint ventures and partnerships
Shareholder fallout and deadlock
Contracts for the supply of goods or services
I understand the commercial imperatives behind these disputes and how to deploy that knowledge to help parties towards resolution.
In addition, I have extensive experience in resolving disputes arising out of the administration of trusts and estates.
Commercial and private client disputes often have a number of similarities beyond complexity and value, including misaligned expectations, breakdowns in communication and loss of trust. All of these need to be taken into consideration in order to reach a resolution.
Arbitration
I accept appointments either as a party-appointed arbitrator sitting as a member of an arbitral tribunal, or as a sole arbitrator appointed by the agreement of all parties, in a variety of commercial disputes.
My approach to arbitration is governed by the principles of independence, neutrality and impartiality.
In appropriate cases I accept appointments where one of the applicable laws to the arbitration is not English law.
In my experience parties require, and are entitled to expect, that arbitrators, or tribunals, act with the agility and responsiveness that contemporary commercial disputes necessitate and render clear, coherent and concise decisions and awards.
