Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods

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

Our Leicester Family Law team includes a trained mediator – Gayle Rowley – who has 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 Leicester is supported by our family law and divorce specialists in Derby and Nottingham.
