A practical approach to conflict
Not every dispute needs to be decided by a judge. Mediation offers a practical, cost-effective way to resolve issues without the time or uncertainty of litigation. It provides a structured environment where parties can discuss matters openly and work towards a mutually acceptable outcome.
At Pascale Legal, our approach is informed by legal expertise and a practical understanding of dispute resolution. In addition to facilitating discussions, we understand what can shape an outcome, helping to keep negotiations focused on workable solutions.
Mediation is a particularly valuable option in family law matters (including Family Dispute Resolution), property settlements, and financial agreements. It provides an opportunity to address issues in a structured environment, without immediately resorting to court.
Our mediation services include:
- Pre-mediation sessions with each participant
- Half-day and full-day mediation sessions
- Issuing of a Certificate of Dispute Resolution in accordance with family law requirements
- We believe mediation works best when it is guided by someone who understands the legalities of the issues in dispute and the practical realities involved in resolving them. We understand that disputes are often stressful and emotionally demanding. Our role is to guide the process and facilitate productive discussion.
Mediation provides you:
- Greater control over the outcome
- Faster resolution of disputes
- Reduced legal costs
- Confidentiality and privacy
- A less adversarial process
- An opportunity to preserve relationships, where possible
- Solutions that reflect your circumstances
We offer in-person mediations from our Salisbury office, as well as online sessions, where preferred. Our office also includes private meeting rooms, complimentary refreshments, and free street parking.
Where appropriate, our mediations can also be conducted in separate rooms (“shuttle mediation”) to support a productive and respectful process.
If you are considering mediation, we can help you understand whether it is the right approach for your circumstances. Contact Pascale Legal to discuss your matter and the next steps on (08) 8258 0400.
