"The road to resolution starts with a conversation. It is the first step to winning any misunderstanding and to saving relationships. Mediation gives us the option to have all that and under your terms. And that's what makes me so passionate about it"

MY PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND

MY PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND

Originally from Uganda and practicing in the US, I bring a truly global perspective. With over 10 years experience as corporate lawyer and 8 years in domestic and international dispute resolution, I have worked with a wide range of clients, from private individuals, to large multinational companies bringing a unique blend of in-depth experience and specialized knowledge.

Joy takes the time to see the big picture while never losing sight of the people at the heart of it. My multicultural experience has exposed her to a unique lens through which I connect with clients, recognizing the nuances and understanding context of each complexity while focusing on what really matters—achieving timely, practical outcomes.

Specialisation in commercial, organisational, cross-border, cross-cultural, identity-based, employment,  with a passion towards devise creative solutions for local and global disputes.

In the last few years, my passion has brought me full circle back to mediation. My journey is one of commitment, expertise, and a deep understanding of the law, all driven by our passion for justice and client support.We dedicate to see your issue resolved in a positive and beneficial manner.

As a lawyer, I research on business transactions and Privacy Law to minimize chances of disputes by foreseeing efficient contract clauses. I have practiced family law and other areas of general civil litigation. My extensive courtroom experience allows me to navigate complex matters with confidence and skill. Today, I continue to work most often on cases where business and family intersect. My dedication to client service, combined with my legal expertise, ensures that my clients receive the highest level of representation.

A Little bit about me...

I'm a mom to 3 boys and bonus mom to 2 girls

I have also spent many years mothering my boys, resolving disputes on a daily basis [hourly, really], while running a nonprofit.
