Berkeley Square Mediation
Civil & Commercial
We passionately believe in mediation as a chance for those in dispute to manage and solve it for themselves (with our help) so it is uplifting and works well provided parties accept entering the process of mediation and have a genuine intention to settle.
Family
Do you need to sort out finances or arrangements for children with your partner? Would you like to be doing things in an easier way?
