Mediation Style

I offer facilitative style of mediation to help parties to reach an amicable settlement:

• By encouraging them to analyse the strength and weaknesses of their case;
• By helping them to identify what they want to achieve from the dispute;
• By encouraging them to think about the likely outcome of litigation and
the costs of obtaining that outcome;
• By helping them to focus their attention on their underlying objectives
and needs rather than on the merits of their case.
