She does this by adeptly maintaining a hub of energy and creativity even in the most acrimonious of proceedings. Rebecca has repeatedly convinced the most entrenched individuals to put aside the past and move forward with positive solutions by infusing her great warmth and calmness into the process of mediation. Why Mediate and why appoint Rebecca as a Mediator? What is Mediation? Mediation is a quick and effective way of solving problems, differences and disputes. A typical mediation takes a day, but sometimes just a half day appointment is enough. In a mediation it is “the parties’ day” – they are there voluntarily, they have a chance to explain their point of view, and it is their choice whether they settle, and if so, on what terms.    The parties remain in control of the outcome, and this is what makes mediation so much more attractive to parties than going to court, and the reason why more parties are satisfied with the…

Mediation can be particularly effective when disputes arise between family members or people in personal relationships. This is because it can help to repair the damage caused by the differences, and can find a compromise between the parties. Frequently apologies are offered at an early stage of a mediation. Often if family members go to court or arbitration they do not speak again.

I have extensive experience of resolving entrenched differences between family members. I bring a calm, patient approach to the discussions and help the parties focus and work out what they really want and need. If things become heated, I steer discussions back on track, and continue to look for solutions.

Inheritance

Disputes over a will, Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975, and the administration of estates are areas where disputes commonly arise. The benefit of mediating these disputes is there is a more flexible outcome available than at court, and the possibility to use effective tax planning, too.

Family Business

The operation of a family business may cause tensions to rise. Succession planning is key, and if this is not done in a timely way, problems can arise – for example on the death, illness or relocation of one of the business partners. Family business and inheritance issues may together form a series of disputes that can be resolved in one mediation.

Inter-generational

Unfortunately we are seeing a rise in claims by parents against their children for loans or other benefits advanced. Mediation is confidential and therefore allows dignity to be preserved. Also, payment plans can be agreed to take account of individual circumstances.

Separating Couples

Division of assets following a relationship break up requires sensitive handling and a good grasp of figures. Mediation can be an excellent way  for divorcing couples, co-habitees and civil partners to resolve issues between them. Usually it is better for parties to reach an agreement themselves in a calm environment rather than have a court decide the outcome. Equitable rights in property and the application of the Trustees of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996 (TOLATA) are commonly raised.

Siblings

Sibling disputes may arise for a number of reasons, for example as a result of a death in the family, commercial arrangements between the parties, or misunderstandings.
