Associate qualifies as family mediator

Cripps has further strengthened its family team following the qualification of associate Katy-Louise Allen as a family mediator.

She is the second member of the team to qualify and joins head of family law Alex Davies as a trained mediator.

“Mediation is an alternative to the court process and I am now able to help separating couples resolve disputes between themselves, which is a far more cost effective option than court proceedings,” she said. “This is especially important when deciding on arrangements for children and finances.

“I am also a qualified collaborative solicitor, which involves arranging for couples meet together with their respective lawyers in order to work things out face to face, again avoiding the need to resort to the courts.

“Both mediation and collaborative law aim to resolve disputes on relationship breakdown, making the process as painless as possible and removing the uncertain outcome of court proceedings.”
