I’ve worked as a professional mediator since 2001. I’ve successfully mediated hundreds of disputes, in-person and online. Over 2/3 of the disputes I mediate result in the parties signing a settlement agreement.
Most of the disputes I mediate are of a civil/commercial in nature. All involve relationship issues, business and/or personal. I’m very comfortable working with others who are supporting the parties in dispute, e.g., lawyers, supervisors, agents, family, friends… The types of disputes I’ve mediated include:
- business-2-business
- business-2-customer
- contracts
- construction
- workplace
- e-commerce
- elder
- employment
- fraud
- information technology
- insurance
- neighbourhood/community
- partnerships
- property
- real estate
- tort/negligence
I am a member in good-standing of the BC Mediator Roster Society.
