Testimonials

“Nina guided the litigants and their respective legal representatives gently through a multitude of problems and issues and eventually facilitated a result which was satisfactory to all. I could not be more appreciative of her efforts of persistence and tact which resulted in the discontinuance of proceedings and considerable relief of the parties involved.”

Adrian Byrne, Solicitor

“We used Nina for a workplace dispute and cannot recommend her enough. We received great feedback from all participants at each step in the process and, more importantly, Nina was able to help everyone find a path forward to working productively again. The positive impact this has had on our business is immeasurable”

Kate Greig, People & Workplace Relations Manager Programmed (2021).

“Nina has a wealth of experience, skills and knowledge in mediation and dispute resolution. I was fortunate enough to meet Nina when I completed my 5 day mediation training. She kept the entire group engaged and entertained, but most importantly she delivered the course content in a clear and fluent manner making it incredibly easy to understand.”
