Colin brings decades of negotiation and dispute resolution experience to workplace and commercial mediation. Before focusing on mediation, he worked as a trade union officer and then as a barrister specialising in employment and discrimination law, representing both employees and employers. He qualified as a mediator with CEDR in 2000. That experience helps him understand competing perspectives without losing sight of the decisions parties need to make. Colin is a compelling choice where legal complexity and difficult working relationships meet.
Having represented both employees and employers, Colin understands how differently parties may experience the same conflict. He helps them examine risk, consider what matters beyond the legal claim and work towards an agreement of their own making.
