Abordagem & Filosofia de Mediação

Joanne Law is a strong supporter of self-determination by clients. After all they are the ones who have to live with the resolution. She works cooperatively with lawyers to ensure that clients are informed about their legal rights and responsibilities but only uses lawyer assisted mediation for very vulnerable clients. This is because resolving disputes isn't just about legal rights, it is about what matters to the people involved. I see mediation as an intervention that has the potential to shift the relationship dynamic away from unresolved disputes and conflict towards one where issues are able to be resolved and conflict avoided in the future.

Experiência Complexa de Caso

The main work I do is family dispute resolution with couples however I can work with family groups if their cultural or individual family situation requires family led decision making rather than parent led.  

The main complexity that I deal with is related to power imbalances and a history of family violence where I provide modified processes (Mediator Facilitated Negotiation) and Video Shuttle Mediation to ensure that issues can be resolved without fear and coercion.
