I engaged Lee Panotidis of Thomson Geer to assist with a protracted and emotionally charged dispute between myself and my former business partner. While our initial consultations were remote due to his practice in Perth, his strategic advice was perfectly tailored to the commercial realities of my Atlanta-based company. His recognition in Alternative Dispute Resolution by Best Lawyers was immediately evident. Rather than pushing for costly and public litigation, Lee expertly guided us through a structured mediation process. He possesses a remarkable ability to distill complex contractual disagreements into clear, manageable issues, which was instrumental in moving both parties toward a settlement. His dual perspective, understanding both Australian and U.S. business sensibilities, provided a unique and valuable angle. The outcome preserved a critical business relationship and saved us a fortune in legal fees. If I had one note, it would be that the time zone difference between Atlanta and Perth occasionally led to slight delays in receiving non-urgent email replies, though scheduled calls were always punctual. Overall, Lee’s pragmatic, resolution-focused approach is highly effective. I would confidently recommend him to any business facing a similar deadlock.
