About Me

Mediation Testimonials

Why lawyers trust Julie with their most complex and sensitive claims.

Historical Abuse Claim

I just wanted to express my very sincere thanks for all your efforts yesterday. I’m quite confident that we wouldn’t have resolved that matter with another mediator present and I was very grateful to have you there keeping us all on track. Looking forward to our next mediation together (although your popularity will mean that’s likely in 2027).
Defendant’s Solicitor, Sydney

Historical Abuse Claim

Thank you for your professionalism, dedication and assistance in assisting us to resolve this claim. Your calm and thoughtful approach and ability to engage with the parties constructively is greatly appreciated.
Partner – National Law Firm

Historical Child Abuse Claim

“Thank you for your outstanding work at this mediation, particularly at such short notice including a request to travel to (redacted). I don’t know any other mediator who would have gone to that effort in the lead up and at the mediation.

Commercial Dispute

Julie performed an outstanding job in ushering parties who were defiant and at extremes to work out a commercial resolution of their dispute.
Regional Lawyer

Historical Abuse Claim

I acted for the plaintiff in an extremely complex matter with 3 defendants. The matter had been progressing for 5 years, and a previous mediation had been cancelled. When this cancellation occurred, Julie spoke with me and kindly agreed to placehold another date in the future, so by the time everything was ready to proceed our client did not have to wait any longer.

Medical Negligence Claim

Julie is a brilliant mediator whose organisation and calm approach really assists with resolving disputes between parties and bringing everyone to the table. I think Julie’s service of offering a pre-mediation conference is very useful in flagging any issues ahead of the mediation which assists with her management of the parties.
Defendant’s Solicitor, Sydney

Medical Negligence Claim

Julie is an impressive mediator. She is organised, smart and proactive. I will definitely engage her again and would recommend her to my colleagues.
Partner – Insurance Firm, Canberra

Medical Negligence Claim

I was very impressed with Julie’s engagement with the clients and the process and her efforts to achieve a settlement when it appeared at times that this was out of reach. Will definitely recommend Julie as a mediator in other medical negligence claims.
Plaintiff’s Counsel, Sydney

Historical Abuse Claim

Thank you Julie for your hard work and dedication to mediating a complex and highly sensitive matter. I believe your approach was exactly what was required to enable the parties to reach the outcome we did.
Plaintiff’s Solicitor, Newcastle

Julie is a great mediator – organised and prepared empathetic to all sides, engaged and helpful. I would highly recommend her.
