We provide mediation and conflict resolution services helping you avoid stressful and costly court cases
Inheritance dispute resolution is our specialty. We provide mediation services tailored to resolve matters calmly and swiftly.
Work place disputes can create a toxic atmosphere. We aim to find amicable solutions so that everyone can move forward.
Business partnerships are often forged with short term vision. Our mediation service can help you work out a solution for the long term.
Finding a compromise within the family for the care of an elderly relative can be very stressful. We will work with all parties to find common ground.
That's where we come in.
We help you get curious.
Help you ask questions.
See things in slightly different shades. Strip down to the conflict's raw ingredients.
But only if you want to.
But you do want to. Otherwise you wouldn't be here.
I can't give you a simple summary of me.
Like you, I'm complicated.
I'm a solicitor, a conflict coach, a mediator and a writer.
In my working life, I've been an employee, a boss, an entrepreneur, a peace-maker and a tactician.
I spent ten years living in France and built a business there. My ex-employees, my friends, now run it.
I've made friends. I've made enemies. I've met amazingly interesting people from very different backgrounds. Not everyone agrees with me, and I don't agree with everyone. I fiercely hold onto the people who get me. Not surface me, but the warts-and-all me.
I've failed and I have succeeded. I have regrets. I have accomplishments. I have flaws. I have skills.
I can help you with conflict.
That's probably all you need to know.
My speciality is inheritance conflict.
I'm ACTAPS trained, my work as a solicitor is 100% inheritance dispute litigation.
Most of my mediation practice centres around 1975 Act claims for financial provision or the validity of a will.
As a business owner for twenty years, I am also well placed for partnership mediation especially as part of a family business.
I am familiar with many aspects of employment law in the UK and France and have mediated employment / contractor disputes internally.
I prefer to mediate when the participants are looking further than a negotation. An agreement that X will pay Y and they both walk away is good, but not great. At least not if their paths will cross in the future.
I can help with one-off conflict. But I can best serve when the participants want to resolve tension to help build future harmony.
It doesn't need to take two to tango.
It's your responses to conflict that matters. However uncomfortable, all conflict can be opportunity for growth.
Dig deeper and all conflict allows you to learn about yourself and how YOU apply YOU to YOUR situation.
With my help, you can get some perspective on your conflict which even if it doesn't resolve your conflict, you'll feel more in control of it.
More control over your conflict means less stress and less damage to your quality of life and the relationships in it.
You hold all the power to your own conflicts.
Coach & Legal is about YOU, not me. It's you who loses sleep over your conflict. You who feels unsupported. You who wishes the conflict would go away.
I'm here to help you wade through the conflict and move forward.
