Mediation has been established for many years now and has been proven to often be a beneficial way to resolve difficulties arising from the breakdown of a relationship by way of consensus with great advantages over the more traditional adversarial approach of the courts.

This is achieved in a number of ways :

It is quicker and much less expensive than court action.

Mediations can be resolved in just two or three sessions, that is as little as three hours ! You can avoid lengthy and expensive correspondence. Community Funding (the new name for Legal Aid) is surprisingly often available as the financial limits are more generous for mediation and crucially the statutory charge does not apply so costs don't have to be paid back. In addition our private rates are lower than those normally charged in court actions and can be shared between you if you wish.

Helps you to communicate and co-operate to reach agreement.

Less stressful and upsetting than going through the courts.

Confidential

You decide what is to be discussed and when sessions will take place.
