Short Bio:

I have a chair in Civil Justice at Leicester Law School where I teach and conduct research in the field of dispute resolution, civil procedure and consumer law. I have been invited to speak at international conferences and expert meetings in over 20 different countries, including by the UN Commission for International Trade Law the European Commission and the European Parliament. I act regularly as an independent adjudicator or arbitrator for a variety of civil disputes, but mainly for aviation, water and telecommunications cases. I have also worked as a consultant for a number of private and public organisations in the areas of dispute resolution and consumer law.

I am a fellow of the National Centre for Technology and Dispute Resolutions (University of Massachusetts), a founding member of the International Council for Online Dispute Resolution (ICODR) and in 2012 I was a Gould Research Fellow at Stanford University. I am also the co-editor of the journal of Mediation - Theory and Practice and the external examiner for the Alternative Dispute Resolution modules at University College London.
