Underpinning Philosophy
Bairbre firmly believes, from her many years of experience as a family lawyer, that the mediation process is the best forum for most family disputes. She believes that an
agreement reached by the parties themselves is one more likely to deal with their interests. To this end, she follows a structured practice of providing a voluntary, pragmatic and confidential forum to allows the parties voice their own concerns while at the same time hear and understand the other’s
concerns to reach their negotiated settlement of the issues between them. This gives them the tools to negotiate any future dispute between them. This is and especially true if they have children. Bairbre “ I see my role in the mediation process is to facilitate both parties understanding of the circumstances, their individual perspective, and to help them identify criteria for a sustainable resolution. I also believe it is quicker and far cheaper than the long drawn out court proceedings.”
