Family mediation

Our experienced mediators can help you reach agreement on issues within the family such as marital disagreements, separations, child custody, finances, probate issues and even conflicts in a family business.

Family mediation solicitors

For many families or couples, working with a mediator can help to resolve issues in a more amicable way, where possible. At Tees the family law department includes people who are both experienced mediators and also highly qualified and experienced solicitors. 

The family team is very experienced, client focused and able to offer specialist advice in all areas of family law. It approaches cases pragmatically and considers all aspects of non court dispute resolution as a method to assist its clients to find resolution to issues relating to finance and child arrangements.

What are the benefits of family mediation?

There are three main benefits:

  • it can help to keep things amicable; this not always the case, but the process of mediation focuses on good communication and understanding from everyone in the family involved in the dispute and that can support a more amicable solution being achieved.
  • final decisions are made by you rather than for you. If you go to court to sort out your issues a judge will make the decisions, which will then be imposed, whether you like them or not.
  • it’s often faster and cheaper than other options. Resolving matters through the courts or solicitors can take months, whereas mediation can take weeks.

If you are married and considering divorce, our mediators also offer divorce mediation.

I have been told my property has development potential. What do I do?

If you’ve been contacted by a developer or a land promoter regarding a potential development to your property, you may wish to consider granting an option agreement or a promotion agreement. An option agreement is made between the landowner and the developer, where it is intended that the developer will apply for planning permission and requires an option to buy the property. A land promotion agreement is used where a developer agrees to apply for planning permission and will market the property for sale on the open market once planning permission has been obtained. This is usually in return for a proportion of the net sale proceeds. The law on this is very complex and you will need specialist advice.
