Qualified as a Mediator or Arbitrator

Michael is trained as a Family and Business Mediator, which has exposed him to the crossover between the worlds of commerce and family mediation. With his experience of cross-border and cross-cultural dispute resolution and his language abilities, he is equipped to handle even the most sensitive of disputes. Michael has over 30 years experience as a litigation lawyer and transactional lawyer in addition.

"Michael's skills as a mediator enabled the ill-will that was evident at the outset to be diffused during the course of the day.

Needless to say, Michael showed a clear understanding of the facts and issues and had clearly doen a condsiderable amount of preparatory work. This was important given the complex IP and contractual issue in dispute and enabled him not only to build rapport with but also the confidence of both sides.

The result was that an extremely unfortunate dispute was brought to an end"
