Approach
How we collaborate
The key is flexibility. Each dispute has its own personality. Therefore, categories such as “facilitative” or “evaluative” mediator techniques are too broad to be useful. The goal of any mediation is agreement. The mediator must be independent, impartial and neutral – but in addition must be tenacious, persistent, empathetic, trustworthy, imaginative, and a very quick learner.
Special experience in franchise, insurance and cross-border commercial disputes.
