Iain Christie

I became a full-time mediator because I passionately believe in the benefit of resolving disputes through constructive dialogue, giving parties control over the outcome to their dispute and avoiding the delays, costs and stress of litigation. Having spent the first half of my career as an advocate I am well aware of what the alternative to settlement entails. As such, I respect the decision of all those who come to mediation in good faith and go the extra mile to make sure they do not leave without a satisfactory resolution to their dispute. I act with integrity, courage, creativity and determination.

In addition to my mediation practice I am a qualified facilitator, coach and professional actor, so I am very comfortable with holding the space during the live, evolving and sometimes emotional process which mediation can entail.
