Your challenges
Separating can be very emotional. You may find it difficult to talk to your partner about the issues that need to be resolved. Mediation helps you do this.
You and your partner are assisted by a mediator, who manages the process and facilitates your discussions. It helps to maintain your relationship as parents if you have children. You can be creative about possible outcomes and find the right solution for your family. Even if you are undertaking court proceedings, you will be encouraged to consider mediation and you can mediate at any time during the court process.
How we can support you
Each family has different needs. We therefore offer the two main types of mediation: family and commercial mediation (or civil mediation).
Our mediators are all qualified family lawyers, so we understand the issues you need to resolve. Our mediators also have the appropriate qualifications for whichever mediation is right for you.
It is important to take independent legal advice before you reach any agreement in mediation. You need to understand your legal position and make an informed decision. If you are mediating with another mediator, our specialist family lawyers will be able to advise you and draft the appropriate paperwork to ensure that the agreement you reach is legally binding.
The strength you need
You need appropriately qualified and experienced mediators, who can offer you the best process for your individual situation, and who are committed to helping you find a cost effective and timely solution. Our trained mediators have the appropriate qualifications and skills and a vast amount of experience to meet your needs. We are committed to helping you achieve a mediated outcome.
