Rebecca Mulae, Conclave Facilitator, R3 Resolutions
Rebecca has over 20 years’ experience as a litigator and now brings her expertise to facilitating conclaves of expert witnesses. She chairs meetings of experts to ensure that they address the questions that are put to them by the parties' legal representatives, ensure each expert’s opinion is heard, areas of agreement are identified, and reasons for any differences of opinion are recorded in the joint expert report required by the Court. The final years of her practice as a litigator were as a partner of a prominent Australian law firm, where she managed and mentored a team of litigation lawyers. She has extensive experience in a variety of litigated claims with a focus on liability and professional indemnity matters, including claims involving medical professionals, owners and occupiers, construction companies, public authorities, councils, property managers, large scale corporations and small businesses. With extensive experience in litigated claims involving nervous shock, psychiatric illness, personal injuries, catastrophic injuries, birth injuries, economic loss, and property damage, she is able to understand, and be engaged in, the technical issues often discussed by the experts, yet able to facilitate the conclave with a focus on neutrality and timely production of the final joint report.
