About Patrick Deale
Executive Dispute Resolver, Labour & Employment Lawyer, Commercial Mediator, Labour Arbitrator, Acting Labour Court Judge, and Author.
Patrick has worked in law and alternative dispute resolution for 25 years in a wide range of industries and sectors. As a senior legal executive for a listed company, he gained first-hand experience of the issues business managers and employees deal with day-to-day.
Patrick co-founded Tokiso Dispute Settlement (Pty) Ltd in 2000, the largest private dispute resolution agency in the country, where he was full-time CEO for six years. He is a highly skilled and experienced South African labour and employment lawyer, advisor, negotiator, mediator, labour arbitrator and facilitator. He is a commercial mediator, coach and assessor, accredited by CEDA (UK). He also serves as Acting Judge of the Labour Court of South Africa.
He is the co-author of the Labour Relations Handbook, published by Juta, and has been a regular host of the Labour Line on Talk Radio 702. Patrick established Deale Attorneys to focus on the opportunity to improve and build successful South African business relationships, in partnership with business clients. Deale Attorneys is based in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng. Additionally, Patrick is open and available all day during the lockdown and beyond to discuss your legal issues online.
Online Mediation – Patrick’s Added Speciality
Mediation is the time and cost-effective solution to court litigation. As a senior commercial mediator in South Africa, Patrick takes these benefits one step-further: establishing an online mediation alternative for commercial disputes. The online format adds novel levels of simplicity, ease, and flexibility to an already accelerated dispute resolution process.
Emotions and personal involvement, especially at executive level, can hinder a climate for constructive problem-solving. Online mediation avoids a face-to-face setting, allowing parties to deal objectively and be more open to mutual solutions.
For online mediation services, get in touch with labour lawyer Patrick Deale.
