Richard Moore (he/him) is a graduate of Carleton University and Queen’s Law School and has many years of experience working as a lawyer, mediator, facilitator, arbitrator, and investigator. He is used to working in complex dynamics, and is experienced in diagnosing what is going wrong, and delivering successful interventions.
He holds Chartered Mediator, Family Mediator, Med-Arbitrator and Arbitrator designations from the ADR Institute of Canada and is recognized as one of Canada’s leading conflict management professionals.
Richard has delivered mediation and dispute resolution training programs nationally and internationally. His mediation workshops are highly regarded and approved towards professional mediator designations issued by the ADR Institute of Canada.
Richard received his foundational training at Harvard University and has mediated many complex and deeply entrenched disputes. A senior lawyer once said of his approach: “Richard is well-prepared, approachable, fair, and neutral. He can maintain good control of the mediation process while allowing the parties wide scope in presenting their perspectives. Perhaps most important to all, he has a soft-spoken approach incorporating a quiet confidence which seems to relax and instill confidence in all the participants.”
A significant portion of Richard’s current work is in dealing with large group dysfunction and polarization where he collaborates to develop trusted processes that allow people to safely speak about, and resolve, complex issues.
Richard is deeply passionate in his desire to improve the lives of others. He has taken significant leadership roles in the legal profession, in the conflict management profession, and in the not-for-profit sector, and is the author of a recent book entitled “A REALISTC © Framework for Enhancing Communication, Relationship-building & De-escalation Skills”.
