Most mediators run a process.

They stay polite, agreeable, professional—as if that alone will shift anything.

But here’s the truth no one says out loud:
Many lawyers complain that a lot of mediators sit on their hands, don’t intervene outside of legal issues, and call it “mediating.”

What are they really doing?

Trying not to annoy anyone, so they protect future briefs.

That doesn’t resolve the conflict.

It just drags it out—until everyone settles out of exhaustion, not resolution.

And anyone who’s worked high-stakes legal disputes knows:

Conflict isn’t calm.

Ego walks in first.

Power dynamics run the room.

 Here’s what I’ve seen over 15 years in law—13 of them at the Bar:
- Even brilliant lawyers sabotage outcomes.
- Not because they lack legal skill.
- But because they try to control the process instead of shifting the dynamic.

- They double down when they should de-escalate.
- They push when silence would serve them better.
- And they lose ground - when they rely on legal skills alone.

That’s where I come in.

I’m an advanced-trained mediator (plus Harvard) with deep expertise in negotiation, high-conflict personalities, and high-pressure conversations.

I don’t just know the law—I know what happens when performance, reputation, and emotion collide.

And because I also coach high-achieving lawyers on high performance, I don’t just mediate.

I shift behaviour. Neutralise ego. Bring influence to chaos.
I help the right people be heard, the right pressure get applied, and the right outcome reached - without unnecessary drama or delay.

If you want someone who'll tell you what you want to hear - not what you need to hear, permit "poor behaviour" and hope it resolves itself—I’m not the mediator for you.

But if you want someone who’ll read the room, shift the dynamic, and get the outcome no one else can, you’re in the right place.
