Heather McFarlane
Transforming Conflict Into Resolution
I am a highly trained, experienced, full-time mediator focusing on complex commercial disputes.
For over 22 years, I have primarily represented businesses when they are involved in lawsuits, both as a plaintiff and defendant. This background gives me insight into how people make decisions.
I arrive at each mediation prepared to facilitate settlement, and I pay careful attention to the people, their interests, and emotions while discussing the facts and legal arguments.
