Geoff Bowyer is the principal of Central Mediation Victoria. Geoff has extensive experience in both legal and corporate environments over a 39 year period including employment at Public Transport Victoria, Ericsson Australia, SPC Limited as well as engagement as a principal lawyer and director in Melbourne law firms and as a principal director of Beck Legal until he became a full-time mediator in 2017.
As a lawyer, Geoff has had a wide range of clients which have included both, local government, statutory and private sector organisations as well is a vast array of SME clients.
As an accredited business specialist with significant experience covering a wide range of disputes, Geoff thrives on facilitating a resolution, rather than encouraging his clients to pursue endless and costly litigation.
"In war there are rarely any winners"
As a Law/Commerce student at the University of Melbourne, Geoff first heard this quote spoken by Prof Geoffrey Blainey, and today believes this simple statement perfectly aligns with the overarching themes of dispute resolution.
Ultimately, the desire to achieve a fair outcome inevitably lies in the hearts and minds of the clients. Geoff believes the role of an effective Mediator is to unite the disputing parties, and to facilitate an acceptable and fair outcome for both sides of the table.
“Familiarity leads more to consent than to contempt”
Too often lawyers act as hired guns ready to unleash conflict! Often this will lead the parties into spaces where sensible resolution becomes increasingly harder to achieve.
Working with a mediator who understands the dynamics of legal disputes in a practical and commercial manner.
Nearly 40 years experience as a lawyer brokering agreements and avoiding prolonged litigation gives Geoff many beneficial insights, allowing him to quickly tap into potential avenues for breaking through deadlock and hostility.
