Strategic Mediation & Dispute Resolution
I help businesses and individuals to resolve disputes and move forward, without the cost and uncertainty of court.
Open a conversation
Each matter is different, but the structure is consistent. A confidential process for the parties to negotiate a lasting resolution.
A confidential conversation about the matter, the parties involved, and whether mediation is the right path forward. No obligation.
Pre-mediation calls with each party and, if needed, position statements and key documents. Anna structures the process and prepares the ground for productive dialogue.
A composed and focussed day, tailored to the parties’ needs. In joint sessions and private meetings, Anna guides the parties to break through the impasse and move from conflict to resolution.
If an agreement is reached, Anna facilitates the parties and/or their lawyers to prepare the necessary documentation, supporting a clear path forward. Anna remains available for follow-up questions throughout the process.
