“I just wanted to drop you a quick thank you for your hard work as mediator today, and to congratulate you on doing a fantastic job in very difficult circumstances. It was easily the best run mediation I’ve been involved in, not least because of the result you achieved – somehow managing to bring the parties to agreement in the face of unhelpful “contracts”, a very contentious factual matrix and litigants deeply embedded in hostility.”
“A quick email to thank you for your help today. You inspired great confidence in my client when she needed it, and I am immensely grateful. Your calm reassurance throughout the day was invaluable – thank you.”
“You are an absolutely brilliant mediator. Your professionalism, communication skills and open communication is exemplary. The interventions you took to progress meditation (sic) were in short acts of genius. It is not an exaggeration to say that the demonstration of your skills is the main reason why mediation was successful within the short time frames agreed. I will most definitely recommend you to any colleagues/ friends who need a mediator in the future.”
“I liked the way he got to know everybody and got everyone talking without realising they were actually talking” “(He) has a wealth of experience and knowledge and as a practitioner in this field he excelled”
“Thank you very much for all your help in getting us to a resolution and for making the day an engaging and dare I say it, enjoyable one (relatively speaking of course).”
“Straight away, Paul put me and the client at considerable ease with a manner that inspired confidence in the process and his abilities. Throughout the day Paul ensured the parties focussed on the most important elements of the case with regards progress towards settlement. Paul’s skill and expertise made the mediation appear easy… I will be sure to recommend Paul to other clients and look forward to working with him again in the future.”
“His style was very positive and encouraged open constructive dialogue. He was excellent”
“Very courteous, but tough when needed to be”
“The facilitative approach worked wonderfully … settlement would have been far less likely within the time span we had, if you had not been the mediator”
“I am writing to thank you for your skill and expertise in reaching a successful outcome at [the] mediation. Right from the start you were excellent. You have an open, gentle and approachable personality which is underpinned with a razor-sharp knowledge and experience. You demonstrated a quick but thorough grasp of what was a complex”.
