Frances Linde

Frances is an employed Resolution Practitioner with Fair Way.  She works day to day as a reviewer and conciliator of ACC matters, but also works as a mediator, arbitrator, and adjudicator across other areas of dispute resolution.

She has been appointed as an arbitrator of Ministry of Education special education or enrolment decisions, and as a mediator for the Land Acquisition Resolution Service.  She has previously dealt with land acquisition matters as counsel.

Frances worked as a civil, employment, and criminal lawyer for some years before taking up a role as a reviewer with Fair Way. ACC law has always been close to her heart. She enjoys the opportunity in conciliation to cut through the legalese and go beyond what’s written in black and white, to address those matters that really mean a lot to the parties.
