A less stressful, more affordable way to resolve family disputes
Attending Court to resolve family disputes can be stressful, expensive and time-consuming for everyone involved. That’s why Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is becoming more popular than ever before. At Nelsons, we’ve been helping families across Derby, Leicester, and Nottingham find peaceful solutions for over 40 years.
Our ADR Services

Mediation
Our accredited mediator, Gayle Rowley, can help you and your ex-partner reach agreements on arrangements for your children, finances, and property. Mediation is confidential, flexible, and puts you in control of the decisions affecting your family.
Collaborative Law
Our collaborative and Resolution Together-accredited solicitor Emma Davies works with you and your partner’s solicitor to find solutions that work for everyone. This approach focuses on problem-solving rather than conflict, helping you maintain better relationships moving forward.
Resolution Together
A unique approach that combines the best of mediation and collaborative law. Both you and your ex-partner have your solicitors present during joint meetings, providing legal advice and support while working together to reach agreements. This gives you the security of legal representation with the cooperative spirit of mediation.
