“It was clear from the second telephone discussion that you had identified the relevant areas of the issues in dispute, notwithstanding the sheer volume of documents to assimilate and that your patience together with good humour over what turned out to be a very long day was vital in ensuring the parties kept talking to each other to resolve the dispute. You were both genial and firm when it was appropriate to be so. You were a pleasure to work with and I am convinced that you were instrumental in resolving the whole dispute. My client and I both felt you not only understood the issues but our perspective, whilst at the same time conveyed the issues of the other party’s perspective in a neutral manner which enabled my client to understand the key issues and ultimately lead to settlement of his dispute which had been running for some 6 years.”
“Lovely, you looked after me, you were honest and candid with your observations.”
“I was delighted with all aspects of your conduct. The telephone contact prior to the meeting and during the day was very useful, and your task was not made any easier by the fact that the majority of the parties elected not to serve position statements prior to the meeting. Your conduct on the day gave me, and more importantly, my client confidence in the mediation process.”
“Excellent service provided throughout.”
“The introduction was helpful and constructive. Importantly I felt it set the ‘landscape’ for a constructive exchange of views and also helped put me at ease about the process. I felt you had researched the case well, evidenced by reference to issues, reports and key events. Very approachable. I felt that you were entirely objective and worked hard so that the parties were able to reflect on their position, ultimately reaching an agreement.”
