Our vision:
The law pervades all aspects of our life. I envision a world where the law is based on self-determination. In this world, collaboration, trust, mindfulness and intention serve as the frame upon which the fabric of existence is woven. I envision a world where conflicts - from the individual to the international level - are prevented, managed and resolved through direct communication without resort to violence or coercion; where power imbalances are intrinsically corrected out of a sense of fairness and justice by those holding power towards those who hold less; and where science and truth are respected fully and equanimously. I believe that the world’s economies must change to embrace and enable the pursuit of purpose by individuals, organisations and society at large.
Our mission:
Mission: I assist people in designing and attaining individual justice systems that work for them, in particular through the creation of conscious, relational agreements.
I especially resonate with Conscious Businesses, operating under new collaborative, human-centric and planet-harmonious paradigms. I strive both to inculcate the values of the new legal system I envision. I support business evolution from a competition- to a change-centric orientation, stressing individual responsibility, autonomy and accountability for processes alongside willingness to seek outside assistance when needed. I resonate with clients who are aligned with the values stated in this Touchstone.
I also explore together with my clients new dimensions in human relationships, co-creating commitment frameworks which enable and liberate rather than restrain and dictate.
