Mediation
Resolve your property matter without going to Court
Our Principal, Tracey Mackenzie-Ross, is an AMDRAS Nationally Accredited Mediator with more than 25 years’ experience in Family Law.
North Brisbane Law offers private mediation for separating couples who need assistance reaching agreement about their property and financial matters.
Mediation provides an opportunity to work towards a practical, negotiated resolution without the stress, delay and expense of having a property dispute determined by the Court.
How can mediation help?
Property mediation can assist separating couples to resolve issues involving the family home and other real estate, superannuation, businesses and trusts, bank accounts, investments, motor vehicles, liabilities and the overall division of their property and financial interests.
The process is flexible and can be used whether negotiations are at an early stage, have reached an impasse, or Court proceedings are already underway.
What is the mediator’s role?
As mediator, Tracey acts independently and impartially. She does not act for either party, provide either party with legal advice or make a decision about how the parties’ property should be divided.
Instead, the mediator facilitates the negotiations, assists the parties to identify the issues that need to be resolved and helps them explore practical options for settlement.
Importantly, the parties remain in control of the outcome. Any agreement reached at mediation is reached by the parties themselves rather than imposed upon them by the mediator.
Do I need a lawyer?
Parties are encouraged to obtain independent legal advice about their individual circumstances and any proposed settlement.
Parties may attend mediation with their solicitors. We welcome mediation bookings and referrals from solicitors and other family law firms, as well as enquiries directly from separating parties.
If an agreement is reached, the parties and their solicitors can then take the appropriate steps to formally document their settlement.
In person or online
Mediations are available in person or online, including for parties and solicitors located throughout Australia.
With more than 25 years’ experience in Family Law, Tracey brings extensive knowledge of property settlement matters together with a practical, focused and resolution-oriented approach to mediation.
