Resolution and Family Law
The debilitating delays in the Family Court system have changed the face of family law practice. For some practitioners, it has been a question of developing skills to navigate a court system which is slow and arduous and for others it has been an opportunity to develop new skills and to find ways to resolve matters outside of the court system.
“Interests based negotiation” has long been a guiding principle for mediators and, in more recent years, collaborative professionals have embraced this approach as a means of unlocking disputes and finding sustainable compromises for clients.
Now, arbitration is experiencing an increased uptake in family law and understanding this form of DR enables practitioners to confidently embrace the various methods of dispute resolution at our disposal.
This Thursday night (30 March) I am presenting a seminar on these topics for the Resolution Institute and I look forward to seeing you there as we consider when and why and how to best mediate, negotiate, collaborate and arbitrate.
