✔ The terms of a PCN split.
✔ The buy-out of a property-owning ex-partner.
✔ The dissolution of a partnership and the handing back of the GMS contract.

A Comprehensive Approach to Mediation
Clare offers a full mediation service, including:
✔ Unlimited preparatory phone calls, online meetings, and emails with all parties and their legal representatives if necessary.
✔ A full 8-hour mediation day (face-to-face or remote via Microsoft Teams).

Next Steps
Clare offers free, no-obligation discussions with individuals or their legal representatives to explore whether mediation is the right approach for their situation.
