“I have worked with Mark for many years, in various capacities. I have been Mark’s instructing solicitor, his junior counsel and one of the party’s engaging Mark as a mediator. Having worked with Mark in these various roles, I have seen the level of precision, dedication and consideration Mark gives to his work. He has considerable experience in leading complex litigation as counsel and, consequently, he is uniquely able to understand the variables and drivers of clients in mediations.
I have used Mark as a mediator for many years, and he is always the first person I recommend to clients as a mediator. He is always very well prepared and is prepared to work for as long as it takes to get a deal done. Mark has the perfect combination of skill, experience and tact, which makes him (in my view) the leading mediator in the Brisbane market.”

“ I have attended a few mediations and reconciliation meetings in the past, which have shaped my expectations from this process. Whilst I'm sure that everyone would have preferred not to have been involved in the dispute in the first place, your participation brought about a resolution that the parties have shown by their actions that they are not unhappy with and certainly much happier than before your brokered agreement. Congratulations. You have navigated the mine-field and have found a path through it and have motivated the rest of us to follow.”
