Mediation and Dispute Resolution

​

Bonnie approaches mediation with a customized process, recognizing that no two conflicts are the same. She collaborates closely with parties and their legal representatives to design an approach suited to the nature of the dispute and the needs of those involved. Drawing on extensive experience in employment and labour law, litigation, and human resources, Bonnie facilitates a structured exploration of the issues, moving beyond stated positions to understand the underlying interests, dynamics, and context driving the conflict. She helps parties assess their circumstances realistically, examining the legal, practical, and relational dimensions to support informed decision-making.

​

Preparation is central to Bonnie's practice. She thoroughly reviews materials, conducts pre-mediation conversations with counsel when appropriate, and identifies points of agreement and areas of tension before the session begins. Throughout the mediation, Bonnie remains engaged and flexible, facilitating respectful dialogue, posing thoughtful questions, and reframing issues to help parties bridge differences. When immediate resolution is not achievable, she continues supporting productive conversation and exploring creative pathways forward.

 

Workplace Investigations

​

Bonnie conducts impartial and thorough investigations into allegations of discrimination, harassment, and other sensitive workplace matters. Drawing on her background in employment and labour law, litigation, and human resources, she approaches each inquiry with a trauma-informed perspective and unwavering commitment to procedural fairness.

Her investigations yield clear, credible findings that enable organizations to make well-informed decisions and respond with integrity. Through preparation, careful credibility assessments, and practical recommendations, Bonnie helps employers address workplace concerns while fostering safe and respectful environments.
