As Mediators, we are grounded in the application of Civil and Commercial English Law. We use our vast experience to assist our clients in making informed decisions that not only seek to resolve immediate conflicts, but – where possible, necessary and may be deemed appropriate –to also transform perceived unworkable relationships into ones centred on the shared interests of the parties involved.
Through such collaboration, all parties create a shared vision of their future conduct towards each other which translates into a self-negotiated written agreement, and all within a safe, structured and formal setting, professionally assisted by our fair, neutral and impartial mediators. This person-centred approach works for all aspects of mediation and, in particular, has been demonstrated to positively impact upon the unity, cohesiveness and longevity of family relationships.

A typical example might be when a couple with children separate or plan to divorce. In these circumstances, the onset of litigation through independent Solicitors only serves to polarise and turn what might already be a fragile relationship into one of breaking point with huge implications for all involved: not least the children. Once in this legal framework, both parents are usually directed by their Solicitors ‘not to communicate with each other’ with a view to eliminating any form of possible disclosure of information that might adversely affect the type of financial settlement being sought. Whilst there might be some merit to the financial settlement afforded, this type of conduct only serves to reinforce polarisation and animosity between both parties.

Neither party is usually happy with the settlement imposed by a third-party judge and neither comes away from the process unscathed. In this adversarial approach, the winner is usually determined by who has the deepest pockets. It's a zero-sum game. Neither party ever truly receives the settlement they crave because the solutions/remedies handed down by the Court are proscribed from a given set of orders which is limited to what you can and cannot do.
This often means that the Courts ready-made one-size-fits-all rules are often breached: they are simply not designed to fit individual family circumstances. They are ridged, inflexible, mechanical and impractical for the fundamental principle upon which the law is premised: “the best interests of the child are paramount”.
For these reasons, the Courts recognise that parents – through the negotiated process of mediation – are ideally in the best position to make decisions which are in line with their family dynamics. Consequently, English law requires that in all such family matters, the first port of call should be mediation.
Through the process of mediation we empower individual clients to negotiate their own settlement which is reflective of what is fair to each party, thus enabling a win-win solution for all parties. This not only removes feelings of animosity between parties but, in the case of a family dynamic, also allows parties to collaborate on a shared vision of the future arrangement of what is in the best interests of the child.
With an average settlement rate of 86% from mediations across all classifications, it is evident that the benefits of mediation cannot be overstated, and I am proud to lead a dedicated team in the pursuit of achieving fairness, equality and justice for all.
