Mediation
Eugene Davy is a CEDR (Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution) accredited Mediator. Over recent months Eugene has established a small group of very experienced Family Law Practitioners who are also CEDR accredited Mediators. One of the main features of the CEDR model of Mediation is that it is Lawyer Assisted i.e. the parties attend Mediation with their legal advisers. Eugene’s group is developing a particular form of Lawyer Assisted Mediation which will be particularly appropriate for addressing and resolving family law disputes. One great feature and advantage of Mediation is that it looks forward, encouraging the parties to turn from the history and look to the future. In contrast to litigation and arbitration, Mediation provides an opportunity for parties to control the outcome of their dispute, even when direct negotiations have failed. With Mediation needs – whatever they are – are more important than legal rights and obligations.
