Style & Approach
Relaxed and hands on, building on common ground, then focussing on the more difficult areas which require attention. This enables me to break down barriers and secure workable and commercially viable solutions. I aim to build trust quickly, recognising the need to tailor each mediation to suit the different personalities and facts as no group of people or two mediations are the same.
Client Feedback
• “I am happy for you to share with others that I thought your straightforward approach to the matter was spot on. You knew enough about the matter to talk through issues with the clients, and to do so sensitively given the issues at stake, but you commendably kept a keen eye on how progress could be achieved. It was useful that you had your own thoughts on what might work to make progress and were thinking laterally about what part of any settlement could be. Pushing my client from time to time gave me some comfort that you were pushing our opponent too. It was not a mediation which was going to turn or required analysis on legal issues and it was useful that you steered clear of the minutiae of the case for that reason. I am rarely impressed with mediators but would happily recommend you to others where that sort of straight-talking approach is required."
• "I should like to take this opportunity to thank David for his expertise, persuasive and commercial experience in handling the meditation at which the parties settled.”
• “I will of course be speaking with colleagues informally as cases arise and will certainly bear you in mind.”
• “David did an excellent job of bridging a wide gap between the parties to my mediation: he handled some difficult characters very effectively, and got a sensible practical deal over the line. Thank you, David!” (Counsel).
• “David, thank you for your skilled guidance through this process.” (lay participant)
