Ms. Wallace began working as a mediator in 1994 while also practicing law and entering the field of arbitration. Over the years, she has served as a mediator in well over 100 labour, employment, workplace, personal injury and commercial disputes.
Much of her mediation experience has been in labour and employment. Wallace has served as a mediator in workplace disputes including, for example, interpersonal conflict, harassment, accommodation of disabilities, working conditions and more.
She has served as mediator in employee termination cases and as mediator of various grievances under collective bargaining agreements. She has served in numerous personal injury cases. She has mediated commercial disputes such as contract disputes and internal business disputes.
The style of mediation I use depends on which style is most appropriate for the dispute. There are times when a facilitative approach is most appropriate. Other times, transformative or evaluative approaches work better.
