Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods

As the emotions of getting divorced can often run high, we will always recommend using ADR methods, such as collaborative law, mediation or Resolution Together, to reach an amicable solution to the issues that are relevant to your separation without the need to go to Court.

Our Family Law team includes an accredited mediator – Gayle Rowley –  and collaborative lawyer and Resolution Together-trained expert, Emma Davies, who both have many years of experience in providing ADR in divorce and separation proceedings. However, should Court action be required, our solicitors are able to support you throughout the divorce proceedings.

Our team in Derby is supported by our family law and divorce specialists in Nottingham and Leicester.
