Her extensive experience as a barrister in litigating financial wrongdoing means that she has an excellent insight into resolving sensitive and complex issues. Familiarity with intricate and heavyweight cases gives her the ability to absorb material quickly and effectively. Specialising in LPP advice for several years has put Linda at the top of the list when parties need an LPP counsel who is able to manage large scale, complex cases. 

Linda is also qualified teacher for adults and frequently train investigators and solicitors who need a better practical understanding of LPP.

When mediating she draws on her litigation skills and knowledge to help parties resolve their disputes without the risk and cost of going to trial.

Linda is accredited by ADR Group for both commercial and family mediation work enabling her to offer a flexible approach to conflict resolution,

Hybrid mediation permits the best of both worlds – joint meetings and private meetings can be on the same day or over a few weeks. The mediation is structured to suit the needs of the parties and the nature of the dispute rather than following a prescribed format.

Linda advocates mediation being used more in cases of financial wrongdoing and particularly where third parties claim an interest in assets subject to a confiscation order. Enforcement proceedings often run into long, complicated and expensive litigation. If those assets have a limited financial value then the time and costs of litigation are hard to justify. With Linda’s assistance as an independent mediator, parties can be helped to find a balanced solution that meets all parties’ requirements.

As a community mediator Linda specialises in inter-generational family disputes in East Sussex.
