BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND His background is accounting and business and he ran his own successful accountancy practice for 20 years until 2008.

MEDIATION WORK Austin has had excellent success in his mediation work with over 80% of cases settled. He offers disputing parties an opportunity to step away from the adversarial legal approach and benefit from his personal brand of commerciality, common sense, humanity and relentless positivity. He has mediated across a wide range of sectors and case types including:- Aviation Banking and finance Charities Compulsory Purchase Orders Construction and engineering Education Employment & Workplace Healthcare Energy & Utilities Insurance Intellectual Property Media & entertainment Partnerships Personal Injury Professional negligence Property Public sector Shareholder agreements Supply of Goods & Services Technical & IT Utilities Waste Wills & Probate Austin has also mediated a number of workplace and separating couples/divorce cases. These cases require a deeper understanding and capacity to work with interpersonal conflict and often highly irrational behavior.

MEDIATION STYLE Austin is predominantly a facilitative mediator with a keen eye for a deal. His commercial background, business acumen and high level of numeracy skills helps him sit comfortably in commercial cases involving high levels of monetary calculations, formulae and accounting standards and principles. Paradoxically (some might say) his personality and people skills are his big strength. He has the capacity to build trust from early on with parties as well as recognize and work with the emotional blockages that often get in the way of settling cases. Preparation is central to his work. Pre-mediation meetings and site meetings are a regular feature. He works with Parties and their representatives to design a mediation process that they buy into. As a mediator he believes his job is to bring creativity to the dispute resolution process. He works hard on reality testing, risk analysis, option generation key and widening the cake where possible.
