Mediation
Mediation offers a constructive alternative to costly and adversarial litigation. Unlike in court proceedings, mediation brings disputing parties together in a collaborative environment, with the aim of reaching a mutually agreeable resolution on the same day.

At Vale Solicitors, our expertise extends to providing comprehensive mediation services in both family and civil matters, ensuring that our clients have effective and amicable resolutions.
​
In mediation, the mediator does not act as a judge but rather as a facilitator, dedicating time to understand each party's perspective and explore potential compromises. This process empowers the parties to retain control over the outcome of their dispute, steering clear of the uncertainties associated with a court judgement.
​
Courts actively promote mediation as a preferred method of resolving disputes, encouraging parties to consider litigation only as a last resort.
​
While you may feel strongly that you are in the right and desire your day in court, it's essential to pause and consider the potential costs—both financial and emotional. Could there be room for compromise, even if only slight? And have you weighed the toll that prolonged court proceedings can take on your time, stress levels, and finances?
​
A well-managed mediation session has the potential to reach a resolution within a single day. Walking away with a written agreement allows you to move forward with your life, free from the burden of ongoing dispute. Isn't it worth exploring this avenue?
​
