I am a conflict resolution professional, having worked as a lawyer and mediator for the past 10 years, including at leading law firms in England and Germany. In that capacity, I have assisted senior management in finding solution to their business challenges, from both a legal and non-legal point of view.
Clients value my attention to detail, thoroughness and my putting myself in their shoes to come up with fitting and workable solutions.
