You may know Barry as a forensic accountant, expert witness in litigation or courtroom disputes, or in the context of leading insolvency administrations and fraud investigations.

What you may not know is that in 2010 Barry qualified as an accredited mediator with LEADR (now Resolution Institute).  He identified the immense value that mediators bring to resolving complex commercial disputes in a very private and pragmatic manner. He also saw how an impartial mediator, with great people and negotiation skills, was effectively able to resolve seemingly entrenched positions.  

Barry has learned from very experienced and talented mediators, both in New Zealand and in the USA. He trained at Pepperdine University’s Law faculty working closely with overseas experts to prepare for this new chapter in his career.

In 2018 Barry retired from the Deloitte New Zealand partnership to practice as a full time commercial mediator. His qualifications and 25 years of experience as a forensic accountant, insolvency specialist and commercial negotiator makes him uniquely placed to assist in resolving your dispute.
