Resolving conflicts with respect, not litigation
Dedicated to respectful and effective conflict resolution
At Whitehead Law & Mediation, we understand that conflict can be painful and disruptive to all involved. Our goal is to provide compassionate and personalized guidance to clients facing relationship challenges and legal disputes. We offer a range of services designed to help parties reach agreement without resorting to litigation.
1. Mediation
- A collaborative and voluntary process where a neutral third party (Janet Whitehead) facilitates open communication and negotiation between parties involved in a dispute.
- Suitable for resolving family conflicts like divorce, parenting arrangements, and financial issues.
- Can also be used to resolve business disputes between partners or stakeholders.
2. Negotiation
- Guided discussions facilitated by an experienced lawyer to help parties identify common ground and reach a mutually beneficial agreement.
- Ideal for situations where litigation is not appropriate or where preserving the relationship is important.
3. Arbitration
- A formal process where an unbiased third party (Janet Whitehead) hears both sides of a dispute and makes a binding decision to resolve the conflict.
- Primarily used for resolving commercial disputes or contractual breaches.
