MEDIATION
Mediation is a process of negotiation where you and your Partner come together with the help of an independent Mediator to have your own discussions about the issues arising from your relationship breakdown. At JLS Solicitors, our Mediator Justine Soper, will have an initial meeting with both of you to gain some insight into the history of your relationship and what each of you are hoping to achieve from your discussions.

Many Mediation clients have commented on the calming and relaxed atmosphere created by our office, being part of a 300 year old converted barn. This is the best atmosphere in which to talk to each other, and keep open the lines of communication between you.

COLLABORATIVE LAW
Collaborative Law is a further service we can offer at JLS Solicitors to help you through the divorce, dissolution of a Civil Partnership, or separation process, and seek to achieve agreement with your Partner without resorting to Court.

You and your Partner would each instruct a Collaboratively trained lawyer. The four of us would then sign a Participation Agreement to work together and endeavour to settle all the issues between you; by having a series of meetings to discuss the possible solutions that could be available to you, as a family.
