In the high-stakes world of dispute resolution, Rob Daisley stands out as one of America’s preeminent mediators, with a singular focus encapsulated in his catchphrase: “Our Mission Is To Get To The Printer.” 

Since becoming certified in 2004, Rob has served as mediator in over 5,000 matters. He mediates over 250 cases a year. With over 40 years of experience in civil litigation as trial lawyer and mediator, he is Florida’s go-to for mediating first-party property claims, complex commercial disputes, and severe injury cases. He credits his success to a flexible mediation system that includes several “impasse buster” options adaptable to each case.

Clients give rave reviews: “His innovative approach turned what seemed like an impossible impasse into a swift settlement. Truly the best in town.”

Rob is a respected member of both the National Academy of Distinguished Neutrals and the International Academy of Mediators. He frequently leads workshops with other prominent mediators, most recently “Missing The Forest For The Trees,” in which top international mediators shared best practices for recognizing and addressing subtle nuances in communication. His global reach includes a recent talk at the University of Auckland Law School, which led to a robust discussion with both law students and senior barristers on the myths and realities of mediating efficiently and effectively.

Rob lives in Tampa with his wife Chantal, who doubles as his case manager. In addition to dedicating time to family, they travel together to Breckenridge, Colorado, for outdoor adventures and to Wales for exhilarating Wrexham AFC matches. At the South Tampa YMCA and Breck Rec Center, Rob teaches Les Mills BodyPump classes. He also leads canoe trips in northern Ontario’s remote wilderness for Camp Temagami. These pursuits offer perspective for guiding parties to the printer, out of litigation, and back to enjoying life’s better things.
