Summary

Having been in the legal system now since 1975 I have realised that for every dispute there is
a resolution possible. It is usually simply being able to work out what is possible, unlikely and
probable in that order. Problem solving and dispute resolution require a clear mind and an
ability to look at the facts and the way forward-not back.

Skills

• Negotiation
• Resolution
• Helping clients see what the solution is
• Going straight to the nub of the dispute
• Polite and friendly
