About me

Jason Hunter

It is one of the roles of a leader to be able to support people as they progress. That inevitably led to many mentoring and coaching conversations. That people have sought me out to have those discussions has been a great privilege, responsibility and pleasure. It is why I continue working as an executive coach and mentor.

As a litigation lawyer...

I would always do my best to help people not get into a dispute in the first place, or to resolve it as soon as appropriately possible. Consistent with that, I trained as civil mediator in 1997 (ADR Group) and, to make sure my practice was current, trained again in 2018 (CEDR). It is quite a thing to be trusted by those involved with a dispute to help them resolve it, put it behind them and move forward. It too is a privilege.

As a solicitor and mediator...

For many years I helped boards make decisions. I have attended many board meetings as an observer/adviser. I really liked what I saw, the discussions that took place, the collaborative challenging and the need to take responsible decisions. I saw my future beyond my solicitor practice.

I now have a portfolio career:

Non-executive director (NED)/trustee

•

Mediator

•

Coach/mentor

Of course, I am still a solicitor - it is part of my DNA - but non-practising from 30 June 2024.

He is that rarity in a law firm, the individual that provides a view when asked. That view is always a well-considered and balanced one. You may not agree with what he says, but you often see a different point of view being illuminated in a way you may not have done before.
