Nicola is very knowledgeable in her areas of expertise and has an excellent rapport with clients from whom I have always had positive feedback.  Nicola is very helpful and promptly provides a concise detailed account in relation to outcomes from court hearings.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you again for your support and amazing work throughout the case; you definitely give me hope that the system isn’t fully broken with people like you helping to do the right thing.

Your relaxed but still focused approach was impressive, as was your persistence, notwithstanding by late afternoon a settlement still seemed unlikely. From my perspective, the mediation was a positive and ultimately successful experience.

As a result of his seniority, Derek attracts complex and unusual cases. He is always my first port of call when I have those cases. He has a wealth of knowledge and expertise as well as being an excellent advocate.

Derek is at the top of my list of Civil Mediators.  He invariably and unerringly is able to identify the core issues which are of greatest concern to the parties (which are not always the legal issues). He brings to the mediation arena sufficient gravitas, where required, but also empathy and understanding. That coupled with his ability to address in clear terms the risks of litigation and to explore constructive and sometimes novel solutions make him in my view the ideal Mediator.

Millie's extensive knowledge and calming presence make her invaluable when assisting Family Law clients.  Every client I have known to be represented by Millie has gone on to ask for her again and for good reason.  Millie is thorough in her approach but, maybe more importantly, is very human when dealing with emotive and complex matters.  It is this that makes her stand out as an obvious first choice of Counsel.

Carol Davies is particularly experienced in such matters, with recent work dealing with the validity of wills, the severing of joint tenancies shortly before death, and multi-jurisdictional matters.

I regularly instruct Marianna on complex private children matters. Marianna spends a considerable amount of time preparing in advance for a case and has a thorough understanding of a client's matter before the hearing. Marianna builds a very good rapport with clients and I would not hesitate recommending her.
