20 Years of Legal Expertise: Mediation with Clarity, Structure, and Speed
As a highly experienced solicitor specializing in legally binding agreements, I bring a laser-focused, structured approach to mediation. No time for wandering discussions, aggressive conversations, or unnecessary drama here. With a dynamic and efficient energy, I keep the process moving, always with an eye on the end goal – finding agreement that stands up in court. If you're looking for a no-nonsense, kind, and effective mediation process, I'm here to bring your case to a swift and sensible resolution while ensuring your voice is heard and your space respected.
Mediation is a confidential and future-focused conflict dispute resolution process that centers on collaborative problem-solving. In this method, disputing parties actively work together in a safe and confidential environment to address their issues constructively. With an emphasis on the parties' control over the outcome, mediation not only navigates the present conflict but also directs attention toward future cooperation. It is a process designed to rebuild relationships by fostering open communication and understanding. As a solicitor and mediator specializing in creating legally binding agreements, my practice ensures that the resolutions reached through mediation are not only consensual and tailored to the parties' needs but also enforceable within the framework of the law.
With over 22 years of experience as a full-time litigator, I am a seasoned solicitor and accredited mediator. I hold a law degree from University College Dublin and a Certificate in Mediation Skills and Conflict Resolution from TUD.
Accredited both in Ireland (MII) and internationally (IMI), I specialize in facilitating prompt, legally binding resolutions, with a focus on complex family dynamics. My additional qualifications in Separating Couples Mediation and Child Inclusive Mediation (UK Accredited) enable me to guide clients effectively through conflict resolution.
Beyond mediation, I hold advanced qualifications in judicial skills and decision-making, including a Diploma in Judicial Skills from the Law Society and an Advanced Diploma in Decision Making from Kings Inns. I serve as a decision-maker for several regulatory bodies, such as the Valuation Tribunal and the Medical Council, where I ensure the highest professional standards are maintained.
