About Kyle
I have over a decade of litigation experience in a wide range of areas including personal injury, property, professional malpractice, residential real estate and family, representing individuals, institutions, and acting as in house counsel where I retained and instructed lawyers as coverage, repair, or defence counsel.
​
I started this mediation practice because I witnessed the costs of litigation - not just in dollars but in mental health, reputation, relationships, and the most precious commodity of all: time.

Dedicated Mediation and Legal Counsel Expertise
My mediation practice is dedicated to assisting lawyers and their clients in resolving legal disputes efficiently and affordably through mediation services. With a background in psychology, I understand the emotional and psychological toll that litigation can take, especially on individual litigants. My approach aims to empower litigants by facilitating a process where they can tell their story and work towards a principled, self-directed resolution. Having served as in-house counsel, I gained valuable insights into the priorities of corporate clients and the intricacies of settlement negotiations. My experience as a litigator, representing both plaintiffs and defendants across various sectors, has equipped me to ask pertinent questions that help litigants identify legal, reputational, and personal considerations crucial to achieving a principled resolution. ​As ALIA Claims Counsel, I earned the trust of claimants and subscribing lawyers by actively listening to their concerns, maintaining an impartial stance, and providing accurate legal and risk analysis. This approach fostered a collaborative environment conducive to successfully resolving complex legal matters, demonstrating the effectiveness of integrating legal expertise with psychological insight in mediation.
