Civil Roster Mediator Details
2014
I offer mediation and facilitation for any number of parties to a dispute, including multi-party disputes. I am also pleased to work with both represented and non-represented parties in mediations and facilitations. Additionally, I provide workplace mediation and stakeholder facilitation services. I am pleased to offer virtual mediations or travel on an as-needed basis. I may be able to provide mediation facilities, depending on the number of participants and the needs of the parties.
I am a mediator trained to mediate all types of civil disputes. My focus has been primarily on employment-related matters, commercial and contractual disputes, commercial debt and collection, and tenancy and housing-related issues. I also have experience dealing with human rights issues, claims of harassment, personal injury, and insurance coverage issues. I am interested in continuing to grow my practice areas, and welcome mediations in any type of civil dispute.
I believe that mediation is empowering to those involved in it. I appreciate the opportunity to listen to each party, assist them in determining what issues are most important, and finally assist them in reaching a resolution of some or all of those issues. The ability to have control over the outcome of a party's own dispute or issue leads to greater satisfaction with the eventual outcome.
In addition to my mediation practice, I am a lawyer at my own firm, Syer Law. I endeavor to take a practical approach with my clients, including encouraging early settlement and alternative dispute resolution. I believe it is generally in clients' best interests to resolve legal disputes without the need for protracted litigation. I volunteer some of my time with the Access Pro Bono civil chambers program, and am on the board of Mediate BC.
Outside of law and mediation, I am a regular participant in the theater community, both on the stage and behind the scenes. I am also an avid skier, photographer, and love to cook.
