I worked for two years in a practical role within Employee Relations and trained as a Mental Health First Aider in 2019. These experiences, together with my legal skillset, have given me a holistic view of disputes and dispute resolution. They have also provided a unique perspective in dealing effectively with difficult and emotionally charged conversations. I have received praise both for my constructive and empathetic manner and my ability to build trust in these situations.  

In any mediation, I will work with both parties to identify their positions and interests and any potential roadblocks. I will help facilitate a creative approach to possible settlement options and, while always maintaining neutrality, I am mindful of how my communication style can be adapted to best serve the needs of the particular parties and the underlying dispute.   

“In my experience, a critical skill of a mediator is the ability to assess conflicts from multiple perspectives with speed and agility underpinned by operating with control and poise. Having worked with Dinu over many years, she has these qualities in abundance and I have no hesitation in recommending her.”

Ben Higgins, Head of HR for UK & Ireland, Societe Generale

“Dinu is able to get to grips with complex situations quickly, whilst considering things from all sides in a thorough and considered way. This makes her an ideal mediator and one who will take the time and go the extra mile, to best serve the parties in any mediation.”

Andrew Warner, Head of Employment, Societe Generale
