Providing you with the best information about family mediation

Mediation Resources

At Dootsons, we have always championed mediation as it’s an alternative family oriented forum for resolution. And as a result of our experience in this field, we’re able to offer a wealth of information to clients directly and professional contacts alike.

So, on this page you’ll find some useful information to assist you, whether you are considering mediation as a prospective client and wondering what’s involved, or as a solicitor wondering how to best engage with Mediation as a preamble to Court within existing legal services.

We’ve listed some useful resources, as well as links for online training sessions and online events that can help you if you are separating, or assist fellow professionals who may want to offer more to their clients about what a positive and effective process mediation can be:-
