Mediation and Dispute Resolution Services
Nicola Hughes- Associate Member of the Arbitrators and Mediators Institute of New Zealand.
I have an unwavering dedication to resolving disputes, coupled with a keen aptitude for conflict management, this positions me well as a highly effective mediator poised to bring about resolution.
With a long and successful career in Disputes Resolution I have worked through countless negotiations, mediations, facilitated settlement discussions and litigation.
“What I have learnt is that people in the right setting, given the right tools, want to resolve the dispute.”
