Associate Mediators

Bruce Wallace

With over 30 years of successful negotiation experience, Bruce Wallace is keenly aware of the significant importance of understanding each side’s motivations and issues. As your mediator, Bruce’s primary objective is to champion and facilitate the mediation process. This process allows each participant the opportunity to voice their position and express their needs. It’s our job to uncover each participants’ underlying interests so we can begin to navigate towards a resolution which will satisfy as many of these interests as possible
