“Having observed Roger in several mediations I can confirm his approach to be extremely calm and methodical. Roger’s preparation is highly detailed leaving no stone unturned. His astute observations enable Roger to identify the sources of the dispute, allowing him to calmly guide the participants to a resolution. I would highly recommend Roger as a mediator, particularly in his specialist area of boundary disputes.”
“Roger’s calm and encouraging approach established an effective framework to resolve an emotionally-charged and long-standing dispute. As a new mediator observing the process, I learnt a huge amount.” Philippa Brown Mentee / Observer
“Many thanks for giving me the opportunity to observe you mediating on Friday. As you know, this was the first real mediation that I had seen after completing the 2018 Strand course, and a real eye-opener.”
“I was very impressed with the way you handled the complicated family dynamics that lay at the heart of this dispute.”
“I could see straight away that both of the parties were highly suspicious. You managed to win their confidence very quickly, and your calm and honest approach allowed them to open up and talk freely.”
“The whole process felt vert un-rushed and relaxed, despite the obvious tensions, and all four of the participants were able to present their views fairly and fully.”
‘Roger’s pro-active approach to preparing parties (and their advisors) for the mediation was instrumental in creating a positive environment for the mediation to take place.
He encouraged parties to take the lead on how they wished to proceed, ensuring they were comfortable with the process and fully ‘bought into’ it. I would have no hesitation in recommending Roger for future mediations.’
