As an attorney (since 1984) and as a mediator (since 1995), Gig Kyriacou has been characterized as a "natural problem solver" by his colleagues who encouraged him to enter the field of mediation. Gig has been the driving force in resolving over three thousand cases, many involving complex, multi-party and bitterly-contested disputes. Where others have given up, Gig has used his patience, persistence and creativity, to achieve resolutions, many of the "win-win" variety.

Gig's strengths include his ability to absorb, analyze and distill complex matters, to deal with difficult parties and to resolve emotionally-charged disputes. Gig has been successful in resolving well over 90% of the cases he has mediated as a result of his quiet tenacity and his effective use of the process.

In 2006 - 2009, Gig was selected by his peers as one of The Best Lawyers in America and chosen by Los Angeles Magazine to its list of Southern California Super Lawyers. In 2004 & 2008, Gig was named as one of the Top 40 Neutrals in the State of California by the Daily Journal. In 1999, Gig was the only mediator selected among California Law Business' Top 20 Attorneys under 40. In 2001, he received the Case of the Year Award from L.A. County's Dispute Resolution Program. In 2000, Gig received the Year 2000 Volunteer of the Year Award from the Los Angeles Superior Court and the Outstanding Volunteer Award from L.A. County's Dispute Resolution Program.
