New Page | Family Arbitration

With the new Family Procedure Rules which came into force on 29 April 2024, parties will be expected to consider Non-court dispute resolution options at all stages, including before and during court proceedings. Arbitration is one such way that you can find a solution out of court.

Arbitration proceedings are private, maintaining confidentiality. Moreover, arbitrators have specialized expertise in the relevant subject matter, leading to more informed decisions. Overall, arbitration provides a faster, cost-effective, flexible, confidential, and expert-driven alternative to traditional court cases.
