Property & Financial Mediation
What is Property & Financial mediation?
Our mediators have specialised training in complex financial settlements - do not entrust this process to a practitioner who does not have the relevant training and financial expertise. You don’t want to look back on this process and wish you had been better informed. We specialise in providing a safe, robust, unbiased mediation space to ensure both parties make informed decisions, in a timely and cost efficient way.
We show you how you can be supported by independent legal advice in parallel with our process at a cost that suits your budget. We also offer a model that includes your Family Lawyer being present with you throughout the mediation session/s. Let us talk you through the available options and how you can save sometimes thousands of dollars in legal costs.
Are you going through a separation and wanting to come to a timely agreement with your ex-partner as to how you will divide up your combined assets, liabilities and superannuation without escalating conflict and without excessive legal costs?

When is the best time to start mediation?
As soon as the parties agree to try to resolve their differences outside of court. It is best to try mediation before the litigation process creates too much mistrust between the parties and before the lawyers initiate expensive discovery processes. Mediation early on can save the parties thousands of dollars and minimize long-term distress.
