Mediation

Mediation provides parties to family law disputes with a win-win solution. 

We are committed to helping our clients resolve disagreements through the mediation process. 

Mamata Patel, a consultant at our firm, is a trained Mediator and firmly believes that a “non-confrontational line of communication with legal representatives and parties can often achieve resolutions which are not only children-focused but also allows for parents, family members and (where relevant) social services to forge a good working relationship to meet the needs of the children long term”.

We are a diverse, multi-lingual law firm based in our offices in Coventry. Our solicitors use use best-in-class technology to provide clients with streamlined, modern, and highly effective family law advice and representation.  Our years of experience in family law means we have a robust reputation for excellence with the UK’s best Barristers and King’s Counsel, Forensic Accountants, Independent Financial Advisers, Surveyors, Actuaries, and Counsellors who can bring additional support to our family law department if required. Our clients also benefit from our ability to instruct the country’s most respected expert witnesses.

Our Family Solicitors are members of Resolution, an organisation of family law professionals who believe a non-confrontational approach to family law disputes produces better long term outcomes.  Our team abides by Resolution’s Code of Practice and work to resolve divorce disputes through round table negotiation and mediation.  However, if Court proceedings prove inevitable, you can trust that we will fight tenaciously to get the best possible results for you and your children.

Our highly intelligent and compassionate Solicitors have received training on dealing with the emotional impact of family law disputes.  If you are finding things difficult, we can refer you to support agencies and counsellors that can help you.  Our team, which include trained Mediators and members of the Law Society’s Children’s Law Panel, are here to help you when life takes an unexpected turn and get the results you need to move on to a positive future.
