My practice primarily focuses on mediation. I provide flat fee packages to help with budgeting for services. I can provide mediation with or without counsel present and will provide a draft agreement to clients.
I am happy to work with clients in remote locations using technology to offer mediation services.
My website provides various information on packages for unbundled services – and I can create custom packages for clients depending on what they need.
Cultural Diversity Experience
I have extensive experience travelling and living in other countries which I think helps inform my ability to be open and receptive to other cultures. I have a background in international development which I believe assist me in understanding my own cultural biases and conditioning. I also have volunteered for many years at the Access Pro Bono clinic through the Intercultural association.
