Mediation service for couples and families

North London based, Harters Solicitors offer a professional mediation service for couples who have decided to divorce or separate.

Relationship breakdown is often painful and seeking resolution through the courts can add to the trauma. Our service seeks to ease the pain and financial burden for those involved.

Our mediators are trained to help people resolve disputes. They will meet with you and your partner to identify those issues you cannot agree on and help you to try and reach agreement.

Mediators are neutral and will not take sides in any dispute. In the mediation process, we are not advisors and will not give advice on your individual position to either of you. We will usually recommend that you each obtain legal advice alongside the mediation process.

Patricia MacAvock and Sarah Fleminger are specialist family solicitors and Resolution trained Mediators. Mediation plays a vital role when couples have to cope with the emotional and practical issues involved when relationships breakdown and children, property or finance are involved.

Benefits of Mediation:

Mediation is available to all couples whose relationship, however brief or historic, has broken down, whether married, civil partners, co-habitees and no matter their sexual orientation.
As mediation is a voluntary process, overseen by an impartial Mediator, it is intrinsically suited to reducing the anxiety and hostility which people can experience upon a relationship breakdown and  the consequent requirement to address child care issues, financial provision and any distribution of assets etc.
Mediation can be more time efficient and less expensive than litigation.
A skilled Mediator can empower participants to negotiate with each other and reach informed agreement in a constructive and positive way.
