I believe that resolving disputes should be efficient, fair, and less burdensome for the people involved. After years of seeing the frustrations and delays of the court system firsthand, I became convinced that a better way was possible when settlement wasn’t achievable through negotiation or mediation: arbitration.

My aim is to provide parties with a fair, timely, and legally sound resolution of the dispute—that respects parties’ time, reduces unnecessary stress, and truly addresses the issues at hand. In that way I can help people to move on from the dispute and on with their businesses and lives.

Finally, and not least, I enjoy problem solving through applying the law to difficult cases (irrespective of monetary value). For decades it’s been fascinating and it remains so !

My approach 

For me communication is key.  Many disputes stem not only from disagreements but from misunderstandings. It’s important to me that all parties fully understand the process. Thus I place a strong emphasis on clear, timely communication throughout the arbitration process. In answering parties’ questions transparently and clarifying potential uncertainties I build trust and clarity in the process.

I’m committed to integrity, clarity, and quality in every decision. In my decisions (awards), I prioritise clear reasoning so that—even when a party does not prevail—they understand why. This approach helps ensure that the outcome is respected, and that the process feels fair to everyone involved.
