Mediation Law Firm of the Year
ABOUT CAROLINE PRESTON Caroline Preston has been a successful
litigation lawyer for over 30 years. She was head of the Litigation Department of A&L Goodbdy for many of them. She has a reputation for applying tough and effective strategies for her clients. She has always been solution driven and had her client's interests at the core of her work. She has seen at first hand that Litigation can be a clumsy tool to resolve disputes and an expensive one. On becoming an Accredited Mediator in 2004 she became a passionate believer in this process. In 2008 she retired as a Partner, studied for and was awarded a Post Graduate Diploma in
Conflict and Dipute Resolution Studies In Trinity College Dublin, her old alma mater. She is convinced that, done properly, Mediation can both resolve difficulties between parties in practical terms and bring financial and emotional closure to the issues between them. Caroline understands the importance of maintaining relationships, both business and personal and she has mediated disputes where positive trading contracts have been saved, family businesses rescued and personal slights and grievances addressed. She has the skill and experience to identify the blockage ,often not the obvious one, which has been
the deterrent to solution. She successfully encourages the parties to explore imaginative alternative proposals in helping them to reach agreement.
Caroline’s extensive legal experience is clearly a valuable tool in her work as a Mediator but it is her professional,firm and empathetic approach which marks her work in this field.
She has successfully mediated some of the the contentious and long running disputes in the country and is known for her stamina and patience in helping parties to see their way to a resolution.
