What is Mediation?

• A method of resolving disputes
• A way of helping you to reach agreement with your former partner
• A process in which a third person (the mediator) assists those involved (in the mediation) to make arrangements following separation.
• A safe environment to explore your concerns & discuss options
• You control the pace & the agenda

Why choose 1st Mediation?

• We are an experienced lawyer mediator service. We can provide essential information but without providing advice or recommendations.
• We have a reputation for understanding the particular concerns of clients dealing with challenging and sensitive family matters.
• We provide value for money and in most cases provide a solution that is much cheaper than the more traditional legal alternatives.

How much will it cost?

• Free initial assessment with no obligation
• Usually a fraction of the cost of resolving disputes by traditional methods through lawyers or courts because:
  1. You pay one mediator instead of two lawyers and there are no court fees.
  2. Communicating directly with professional support resolves issues more quickly (& therefore at less cost).
  3. No extras to pay for e.g. Solicitors Letters
  4. Discounted rates available for families on low income.
