Mediation Solicitors in Hessle

Is going to court always the best way to resolve a family or civil dispute? For many people in Hessle and across the Hull area, mediation offers a way to reach an agreement without the cost, delay and stress that court proceedings can involve.

Family mediation is often used to work out arrangements for children, or to divide finances and property following a separation or divorce, and for most family cases, attending a Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting is a required first step before making an application to court.

Mediation is voluntary and works only when both parties are willing to engage constructively. Still, when possible, it tends to produce outcomes both sides are more likely to stick to, since the agreement is worked out together rather than imposed by a Judge.

Solicitors covering Hessle can advise alongside the mediation process, checking that any agreement reached is fair and properly recorded, and stepping in to progress matters through the courts if mediation doesn't succeed.
