Personal Style

Eve is empathetic and builds trust and rapport easily with clients. She is calm and persistent and knows when to challenge parties to help them overcome deadlock. She combines clear legal analysis with a creative, commercial approach to help parties find long-term solutions to disputes. She is described in Chambers as “a popular and well-considered mediator who garners consistent praise from market sources for her ability to handle emotionally charged proceedings” with a “steely determination to get a deal done”.

Feedback

• “Eve was excellent. She was very competent, creative, patient and empathetic. The day went very well and we reached a compromise. It was quite difficult as there were three parties, but we had a satisfactory outcome. We would be absolutely happy to use Eve again.”
• “Eve was very good, absolutely top notch. The other side were very difficult and I was not expecting any resolution at all. She mediated very well and did extremely well to get the resolution she did in very difficult circumstances.”
• "I thought Eve was first class and had exactly the right touch.”
• "Eve was absolutely excellent. Our clients thought it was a good exercise and we have no qualms about using Eve again."
• “She remained positive in very difficult and negative circumstances.”
• “I genuinely don’t think that anyone could have tried harder than you to get a result here. Thank you for your perseverance. I have enjoyed working with you.”
• “Eve’s calm, resilient style helped cope with the parties’ clear personal animosity.”
• “Eve has an ability to match endless patience and tact with a clear vision of what is actually going on.”
