Present your side of the story with confidence

Mediation is often the best opportunity you will have to resolve an employment relationship problem. Having the right representative can make all the difference.

I am a specialist employment lawyer representing employees throughout New Zealand in employment mediation, negotiation, and employment dispute resolution. I help people understand what is driving the conflict, how the other side is approaching the problem, and what the options are for working through it.

When you meet with me you will know your legal position, what you can do to protect your rights, and how to use mediation to work toward a fair and practical outcome.

My support

Most people have never experienced mediation. I will take you through the confidential nature of mediation, the different steps of the process and what you need to do prepare.

Mediation can be an emotional experience. It is often the first time the parties have dedicated time to address what is going on. I will support you so that your position is presented clearly and with confidence. You will be heard.

You will also have support during any negotiations that arise. I will advise on how to present proposals and how to respond to them. You will understand your negotiating position and what are your best alternatives to reaching agreement. This may include proceeding to the Employment Relations Authority.
