Kate Haley

As a Resolution Practitioner within the Commercial Services team at Fair Way, Kate works across sectors, specialising in workplace and education disputes, focusing on early intervention and prevention. She practices as a facilitator, mediator, and investigator, and also provides training in conflict management to organisations. Kate advocates for collaborative and multidisciplinary processes that optimise mutual understanding and conflict resolution.

Kate’s analytical and client centric approach comes from her experience with both the local and international pharmaceutical industry.  More recently Kate has focused on conflict diagnosis and dispute resolution system design at a governance level within the education sector and has delivered conflict prevention and emotional agility training within workplace and community organisations.

Having lived overseas, including Europe and Asia, Kate regards Ōtautahi as home and her tūrangawaewae.  Kate’s familial connection with Ngāi Tahu and her ongoing study inspires her to use the principles of whanaungatanga to shape her dispute resolution philosophy and practice.
