We understand the stress that separating parties endure and aim to provide the best and cost-effective outcome for mediating parties. From the moment you reach out, our goal is to guide you calmly through the process with confidence.
Should you negotiate?
In almost all situations, yes. Negotiation can lead to earlier, less costly resolutions and allows you to retain control over decisions that affect your family and future.
Dispute resolution options we guide you through include:
- Negotiation with legal advice and support
- Lawyer-assisted round table discussions
- Formal mediation with independent professionals
- Case Assessment Conferences – an early court-based settlement opportunity
- Conciliation Conferences – used for complex property matters
- Ongoing negotiation at various court stages
- Collaborative law – a commitment to resolving matters outside of court
Why dispute resolution works
Dispute resolution is often the most effective path forward when both parties are willing to engage. It is structured but flexible and often results in more sustainable and personalised outcomes than those imposed by the Court. Mediation is particularly valuable when parties want to preserve co-parenting relationships or resolve finances with reduced tension.
Collaborative law is another option where both sides agree not to litigate. While more formal and sometimes costly, it suits certain couples seeking a transparent and cooperative path.

Our circumstances in engaging JFL were due to the sudden and tragic passing of my sister. Sally assisted our family through complex legal proceedings as we sought full parental responsibilities for her three children, my nieces and nephew.
Sally was able to shift from holding my hand and passing tissues, to providing practical solutions, advice and guidance on how best to navigate the legal system and achieve what was in the best interest of the kids.
Thank you Sally, we will never be able to express how much you did for us and how your counsel and friendship helped us navigate an incredibly difficult time.
No hesitation at all in recommending Sally, and the JFL team.
