About Len Cooper

A smiling older man wearing glasses and a gray button-up shirt with a dog emblem on the chest, sitting outdoors with a blurred background of green trees and sunlight.

I am a mediator based in Auckland, committed to helping people resolve disputes in a fair, respectful and constructive way.

I bring fresh perspective from outside the law profession. This gives me a distinct advantage: rather than engaging in legal arguments or a “ win at all costs” strategy I am able to concentrate entirely on open communication, assisting the parties in defining and clarifying the core issues, gaining a mutual understanding, and assisting all parties to work together to reach a solution agreeable to all.

I create a safe and balanced confidential space where your issues and perspectives are heard and discussed, where the goal is not a legal victory but a resolution that is practical, fair and acceptable to everyone involved.

I am of the firm belief that the best and most enduring outcomes come from mutual agreement .

This people centred approach not only saves time, stress and money but also helps preserve relationships- something a purely legal battle rarely achieved.

If you are looking for a mediation that is approachable, impartial and focused on outcomes that work for everyone, you have come to the right place.

I experienced a particularly nasty employment situation involving bullying and harassment. Len facilitated and supported me through the mediation process using his skills to identify the issues, clearly define the core problems and assisted me to confront the behaviour and motivation that lead to the conflict , all of which lead to a favourable outcome.

Len was hugely instrumental in negotiating a successful outcome that was agreed by all parties in my family dispute regarding complex trust matters. I highly recommend him for his calm and reasonable manner. He was my pair of safe hands.
