The following quotes are from parties Rebecca has recently mediated with:

“She listened when needed, she moved things forward when needed. She was collaborative and problem solving focused. She made it a team effort. She was devoid of ego. Mediator superb.”
“I thought she was really excellent. Great at seeing things from both sides, she was very astute as to the issues between the parties and their motivations and thought she moved things along very nicely…Rebecca’s perseverance ensured a successful result which I am not sure would have been possible had the parties been left to their own devices.”

In short she is a credit to her profession, to IPOS and to herself.”
Rebecca Clark’s enthusiasm and experience were apparent from communications prior to the day of the mediation. Rebecca’s thorough preparation and charisma meant that my clients were quickly put at ease. Rebecca Clark is a “go to” mediator for financial services disputes and other complicated disputes.
“I always suggest Rebecca now because she seems to build relationships better and more quickly than others. This was crucial on such a short mediation. We were also really pleased that the technology worked perfectly.”
“Rebecca has an exceptional ability to identify what really matters to the parties and to help build bridges where there was previously no prospect of doing so. This was the hardest fought mediation I have done and Rebecca kept everyone together when, at times, there was a real risk of it falling apart.”
“A very good result; identified early what was needed to reach resolution, identified that the emotional side rather than monetary figures needed to be addressed at the outset. Rebecca was exactly the right mediator for the day.”
“The opening session was managed incredibly well. Rebecca’s opening remarks set the scene perfectly and encouraged an open and upfront session that cut through the issues quickly. Rebecca’s approach was ideal – very measured in her delivery and made useful comments to assist the parties in progressing negotiations. First rate in every aspect of the day.”
“I was particularly impressed with the points that Rebecca made during our confidential discussions (when we were evaluating the arguments and the risks). Her understanding of the issues and risks and assessment of them was spot on. I would definitely instruct her again.”
“Rebecca was excellent – pre-mediation conversations with the parties worked well. She was good at working with the individual parties and managing that relationship. I would definitely recommend her”
