“Kathryn mediated a very difficult case for me recently. The parties were extremely far apart and the underlying issues were infused with emotional undertones that made resolution extremely difficult. Kathryn did a masterful job assisting us in resolving the case. Her methodical approach to resolution – taking factual issues off the table at the outset, focussing on the interests of the parties and providing clear and transparent guidance on resolution strategies and risk – brought the parties together. We would not have resolved this case without her hard work and assistance.”
“Kathryn is a popular choice amongst wise counsel for a lot of cases – why? Because she is fair. Because she puts the work in to understand the case and hear the parties out. Because she has put in the time as generalist civil litigator, with expertise in various practice areas and a strong familiarity with not only substantive law, civil procedure, and rules of evidence, but also with the practical aspects of a dispute, such as the financial cost, the impact on business reputation, and the toll on the litigants.”
“You are the hardest working mediator I have ever met. I was skeptical this case could be settled. I speak for all parties [five in that case] in saying we would not have reached a settlement without all of your hard work and efforts.”
“Thank you again for helping us settle last night Kathryn. In my experience, not many mediators go the extra mile like you did (particularly in what is not what could be considered a large or notable case), both in terms of time but also helping us bridge the gap on small drafting points.”
“Another great job by you Kathryn. You are the best in the business in our view. Thanks again.”
“Between you and me, I seriously doubted the chances of success of this matter so good on you for getting it done!”
“Thanks again for a great mediation – I really thought it could not be settled. You still have a perfect record for second mediations! Amazing. I also thought your presentation at the beginning was really excellent – it really made the parties feel heard.”
“Simply the best!”
“I’m immensely grateful for your work and dogged perseverance on this file.”
Kathryn, we can’t thank you enough for your able assistance with this difficult matter.
“It was an intense day for us and we were happy with the outcome overall. It was interesting for me to watch you work and to recognise how you do what you do and realise how you adapt to both sides to get to the end result. You worked with us perfectly and it sounded like the other side too.”
“Thanks for your very thorough work on this. It is obvious that you put real thought and effort into it.”
“Thank you for another success!”
“Thank you very much for your excellent work as always. It was a pleasure working working with you and I will continue to recommend you to my colleagues and clients for cases.
“Thank you very much for all your hard work, patience and your help yesterday. That was a priceless for me.”
“You did a great job Kathryn. Thanks for doing what you do.”
“Thank you for doing some magic today”
“Thanks for your help and effort today. I appreciate your level of preparation and approach.”
“Kathryn mediated a tough case for me. She did an outstanding job.”
I’ll never forget how you helped me and my client to settle a matter at mediation. I appreciated how thoughtful you were from the outset. You are excellent! I have said your name many times to colleagues.
