Our Mediation Specialists
Matthew Brandis
Craig Williams
Our mediators can carry out a mediation for you at short notice and at a reasonable cost. Our mediators are qualified with the leading training organisation, CEDR and have extensive experience in mediation meetings. Our CEDR-qualified mediators do not seek to act as a judge at the meeting and will not express opinions about the merits of your case. Their sole objective is to assist you to settle the case with the other party.
Because all mediations are different, it is important to have experienced professionals to guide you through the process - whether acting as independent mediators or as your mediation advocate - and all the mediators at SettleMyDispute are experienced professionals.
.. Our Mediators are members of the Association of Contentious Trust and Probate Specialists (ACTAPS) and accredited mediators of the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR).
