Pitmans' Head of Dispute Resolution takes Appointments as an Independent Mediator:

Mediation is a powerful technique for resolving disputes of all sizes and types quickly and cost effectively. Money disputes can be settled quickly and where other factors are involved, mediation gives those involved an opportunity to step back and think about how the situation can be put right. Mediation is robust, quick to set up and recognises the commercial realities of life:

Mediation can:

achieve early settledment of money and other claims.
enable participants to devise their own practical solution which benefits all sides.
allow people to rebuild relationships via collaboration.
be much more cost effective and quicker than going to court.
also be an excellent preventative tool and can be used effectively to stop problems escalating and becoming worse.

Sue O’Brien is an experienced and effective accredited mediator, with a proven track record of successful mediations. She enables disputes to be resolved at very reasonable cost.

Sue is valued for the trust she inspires in parties to mediations by her calm and creative approach, clarity of thought and ability to see to the heart of a problem. She aims to simplify apparently complicated issues and assist the parties in overcoming obstacles to their resolution. Sue is often commended for her commonsense approach to problems, underpinned by a keen understanding of legal and strategic issues.

Sue has worked both in England and France as a Solicitor. She is fluent in French and has a good knowledge of Spanish.
