It is an entirely voluntary process. If you are interested in mediation, please do enquire. Before mediation commences, clients will be assessed as to the suitability and appropriateness of mediation for them/their family. All participants to mediation must be committed to the process and attend voluntarily.

Prospective clients will be provided with information about principles of family mediation so that they can decide if it is the right choice for them. People come to mediation voluntarily to sort disputes out. Hughes Paddison offer a safe place to enable clients to think about how they can resolve issues. This enables our clients to make decisions together about what will work best for them (and perhaps their children).
