We are supporting ‘Family Mediation Week’

Jane-Louise Burrows
I qualified as a solicitor in 1990 and have practised in family law ever since. I have always been committed to supporting clients throughout their journey from separation to a brighter and more positive future.
As my career progressed it was increasingly clear that many clients did not only want legal advice. They wanted to feel in charge of making the decisions they considered best for their family and to improve communication between themselves and their former partner. This was particularly important when they had children together and needed to be able to discuss and make future arrangements for them as they grew and their needs developed.
In 2012 I trained as a mediator. This enables me to provide legal information to both parties, as opposed to advice to only one, ensure all options are explored and to support parties to express their views and find the best solutions following a separation.
Clients and I work together in discussions which are confidential and without prejudice so they can feel safe putting forward ideas and exploring the other person’s viewpoint without being tied to any option before they decide which one they feel is the best.
