Jeremy Moore Moore Law Disability & Aged CareAccredited MediatorNoLaw Society of South AustraliaFor me Mediation means providing a safe, flexible and respectful environment to resolve disputes with the power remaining with the people involved.I encourage the people involved to seize the opportunity to resolve the problem. rather than being caught up in an adversarial, unfamiliar, controlled and formal court environment where the outcome is often painfully slow, expensive and unpredictable. I appreciate it is important for people to have their say and be listened to.For me a good mediator is someone who can facilitate an acceptable outcome for the people involved.I have mediated literally hundreds of matters involving family relationships and/or business relationships with a success rate of more than 90%.My approach is to remain calm and respectful and help people to provide and develop options to resolve their differences by agreement within a mediation framework.I have found a good mediation process can give participants permission to move forward and put the past behind them with a sense of relief.In my role as President of the Guardianship Board (2008-2015) I created a mediation model to resolve family conflict matters involving people with a decision making disability, their families, friends and service providers. The model worked effectively to ensure good outcomes including that the vulnerable person had the best chance of maintaining good relationships with all the significant people in their life while ensuring that there affairs were looked after properly.Prior to my work at the Guardianship Board, I was the principal of a successful general law firm Moore Law. I practised in various fields of law including:Dispute resolution, wills, contested estates, estate and succession planning, guardianship, powers of attorney, insolvency, family law, worker’s compensation, personal injuries, medical negligence, industrial and commercial matters. I currently work with farming families helping them to identify and resolve issues that affect both their businesses and families.I am dedicated to resolving conflict in a people friendly manner.20064/02/19800419 854 187[email protected]107492Moore

I understand the impact of litigation on parties to a dispute and the valuable role of mediation in resolving disputes.
