I have over 20 years’ experience as a practising dispute resolution solicitor in Scotland. I am a highly experienced litigator, including being qualified as a Solicitor Advocate, and have regularly appeared in court throughout my career. I have been a Senior Associate in a large, global law firm, Clyde & Co, handling insurance disputes and high value personal injury claims. More recently I have worked in a Scottish firm, Aberdein Considine, acting for SMEs in commercial and contractual disputes, and private individuals in disputes relating to property, inheritance, debt and other matters.  

I became an accredited Commercial/Civil Mediator with ADR ODR International in 2021. I firmly believe that my background in providing individuals and businesses with comprehensive advice on all aspects of their disputes gives me professional insights that are of benefit in the mediation setting.  

Mediation Style

My background in case-handling, including complex cases, allows me to get to grips with facts and issues quickly. My experience in litigation means that I always ensure I am thoroughly prepared and I act in a highly professional manner at all times. I can maintain a robust stance when required, however my natural disposition is warm and empathetic.  

I am presently based overseas but happy to take UK-based or international mediations and have had additional training in Online Dispute Resolution, specifically video mediation.
