Who are we?

Our group comprises a number of experienced family lawyers and a former children’s guardian who bring together expertise in complex financial and child-related matters. We have the necessary legal knowledge and expertise to guide couples towards fair and workable outcomes. Our non-legally qualified mediator is able to add invaluable assistance to parents who are struggling to agree on arrangements for their children as well as helping with the emotional issues that can all too often lead to a breakdown in constructive communication.

As like-minded practitioners, we formed Reading Family Mediation to promote good mediation practice in the local area and to provide an expert service for those choosing mediation.
