Partner, commercial law firm Canberra, 2026

“We have had Karen as mediator in a number of matters across the years, both as our appointed court mediator, and also as an agreed private mediator. We have had all range of commercial litigation matters before Karen and she has been able to quickly get on top of them all, no matter how complex, get to the crux of the dispute and bring the parties together by removing the relevant barriers to settlement.

Karen is not your typical slow, paper based, technologically unsavvy mediator (sorry to those out there, unlikely you are on the internet to read this though!). Karen embraces the use of technology in mediations which makes it easy and accessible to take part, including for clients based overseas.

Overall, Karen is a great mediator with a practical and effective approach to resolving whatever dispute she is briefed with and I would not hesitate to recommend Karen as mediator in any commercial dispute.”
