The UK's leading Shared Parenting charity

Lawyer Supported Mediation

LSM logo

 

If you are a parent that requires support resolving child arrangements and/or financial matters, you can speak free of charge to a family lawyer belonging to the LawyerSupportedMediation.com professional network.

LawyerSupportedMediation.com is a new service that prioritises effective communication between co-parents at a time when children need it most.

Devised by social enterprise Advantage Resolution Ltd, LawyerSupportedMediation.com (LSM) is currently available across the South East, North West and North East. It’s an end-to-end service that combines fixed fee legal advice with family mediation.

Lawyers and mediators working in tandem not only reduce the cost of resolving disagreement but give you – and your separating/former partner – more price certainty than lawyer-led alternatives.

Above all, family mediation is extremely successful once underway. In 2013/14, almost eight out of 10 people who began family mediation went on to reach agreement.*

LSM also specialises in engaging your separating/former partner about the service. This is done free of charge on behalf of any parent willing to consider the approach.

To set up a free consultation with a participating lawyer, request a free call back from LaywerSupportedMediation.com by clicking here.
