Most people would agree that to go to court in respect of family difficulties should be the last resort.

Whilst sometimes unavoidable, litigation is slow, can be stressful and is costly.

Mediation is not about reconciliation. Instead it provides a way for you to move away from the negative judgments and positions that can impede agreement.

If you would like to know more, we will arrange a pre-mediation meeting with you, and you will be provided with information in relation to the mediation process, and you can raise initial questions and indicate concerns.

A job offer in Dubai. A new partner in Melbourne. Family in Poland who could help with childcare.

For a separated parent, a move overseas can seem the sensible next chapter. For the other parent, the same move can look like the end of a relationship with their child.

The law in England and Wales takes both views seriously and does not simply favour the parent with the stronger practical case. If you are considering relocating abroad with your child, or have just learned that your former partner is, the rules are stricter and the court process less predictable than most people expect.

When family circumstances change, finding a way forward can feel overwhelming.

Mediation offers a constructive, confidential space to discuss important issues such as finances, property, and arrangements for children - helping you work towards solutions together, rather than through the courts.

Often quicker, less stressful, and more cost-effective than litigation, mediation allows you to remain in control of the decisions that affect your future.

Our experienced team is here to guide you through the process with sensitivity, impartiality, and understanding.

When it comes to mediation, we're good listeners. Let's talk. 💙

Summer often gives us a chance to slow down and tackle those jobs that have been sitting on the to-do list for a while.

For many people, that includes making or updating a Will.

It's one of those tasks that's easy to postpone, but having your affairs in order can provide real peace of mind for both you and your loved ones.

Our Private Client team is always happy to explain the process clearly and answer any questions you may have.
