Mediation Experience
Named by NBR as one of the top 10 commercial and family mediators in New Zealand in 2014 and 2016, and by Law Fuel as one of the top 4 commercial mediators in 2016, I have proven experience in commercial and family dispute resolution and mediation.
Since 2014 I have been recognised as a leading and recommended mediator in NZ in Who’s Who Legal. I take pride in an open communication style, facilitating better conversations and ensuring mediation leads to durable agreements.
“Deborah has a rare quality of being able to work out the legal and technical issues in the case and at the same time is able to support the parties, who are often in an emotional and vulnerable state.”
“Deborah has the ability to understand complex issues and structure a process that enables the issues to be fully discussed in a systematic and efficient manner.”
“… I can speak very positively of your skills, particularly after that last mediation, in which you managed a minor miracle.”
