Nationally Accredited Mediator
Turning Legal Headaches into Handshakes
Led by experienced mediator Luke, we offer confidential, voluntary, and cost-effective mediation across a range of disputes helping parties reach fair, lasting agreements without the stress, expense, and uncertainty of court proceedings.
personal injury Claims
Mediation services for personal injury cases provide a confidential, voluntary process where a neutral mediator helps injured parties and insurance companies reach a fair settlement without the need for lengthy and expensive court trials. This approach often saves time, significantly reduces costs, and allows both sides to have more control over the outcome.
estate & inheritance disputes
Estate mediation delivers a private, cost-effective alternative to courtroom battles, with a trained neutral mediator helping siblings, spouses, and beneficiaries resolve disputes over wills, trusts, and inheritance in a structured yet flexible setting. This collaborative approach cuts legal fees dramatically, protects family privacy, speeds up settlements, and empowers everyone to craft lasting agreements that honor relationships and individual wishes.
Commercial & Business Disputes
Commercial mediation provides a confidential, efficient alternative to costly litigation, where an experienced neutral mediator guides businesses, partners, and stakeholders through structured negotiations to resolve contract disputes, partnership conflicts, or breach-of-agreement claims. This proven process dramatically lowers legal expenses, minimises business disruption, protects commercial relationships, and delivers faster, customised settlements that both parties can willingly enforce.
Financial Services Disputes
Expert mediation for claims involving insurance denials, banking issues, or superannuation disputes. With direct experience at major insurers like Suncorp and Allianz, Luke understands both sides, promoting balanced resolutions that avoid lengthy court battles.

What to Expect from
iM Mediator
IM Mediator
Most mediation sessions are completed in a single day and can be held in person at a neutral location or via secure video conference when needed. For more intricate disputes, additional sessions can easily be arranged to achieve a full resolution.
All parties agree to appoint a neutral mediator. A simple mediation agreement is prepared to outline the process, confirm confidentiality, and ensure everyone starts on the same page.
STEP 1
The mediator conducts separate pre-session conversations with each side (and their lawyers, if involved) to clarify issues, answer questions, and help everyone prepare effectively.
STEP 2
During the session, the mediator alternates between joint discussions and private caucuses to explore concerns, test ideas, and develop practical solutions that work for all involved.
STEP 3
If an agreement is reached, a settlement document is prepared so it can be signed the same day by the parties providing certainty on the result.
Participants and their advisors are encouraged to arrive with a concise summary of the dispute, an open mindset, and authority to settle. The mediator provides tailored preparation guidance in advance to help everyone make the most of the process.
