Alternative Dispute Resolution

Resolving family matters with empathy, discretion and clarity.

By guiding our clients through Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods to achieve a resolution, whatever issues are being faced, we can reduce conflict, delays, and costs, and offer a more constructive and flexible path forward for everyone.


Our Expertise

Court hearings involving any kind of family dispute can be very stressful for all concerned, as well as being inherently uncertain in outcome and expensive.  We have the experience and expertise to successfully support clients through all forms of ADR, including mediation, lawyer led negotiation, private Financial Dispute Resolutions (FDRs), collaborative law, arbitration, and Early Neutral Evaluation, all of which have the potential to minimise, and in some cases completely avoid, the stress of court intervention.


Our Approach

We take time to understand your objectives, provide clear, strategic advice, and prioritise the welfare of any children involved.  With experience across all forms of family ADR, we’re known for our discretion, empathy, and pragmatic support whether working directly with you or alongside mediators and other professionals.

At BCR, we recognise that every family is different, and the most suitable path depends on your specific circumstances, with some families benefitting from using more than one form of ADR. In each case we will provide comprehensive support through every stage of ADR by: -

  • Assessing whether ADR is appropriate and safe for your situation.
  • Representing you in negotiations and the collaborative processes.
  • Preparing you for any ADR, and reviewing any settlement terms reached.
  • Drafting legally binding consent orders following agreement.

Our Values in Action

Excellence: Resolve sensitive family matters with clarity, care, and the highest standards of legal expertise.

Delivery: Provide timely, strategic, support that reduces conflict, cost, and delays for families.

Respect: Listen with empathy, value every perspective, and prioritise the wellbeing of all involved.

Elegance: Act with discretion and professionalism, guiding families through complex issues, with calmness, sensitivity, and authority.

Why BCR Law

Our aim is to resolve family disputes with empathy and discretion, with a focus on reducing the conflict, stress and expense wherever possible, and to achieve your aims. Our experienced team takes the time to understand your goals and provide you with clear, objective, strategic advice. We will support you at every stage, whether working directly with you or alongside other ADR professionals.
