About Decide Mediation
Decide Mediation is a family law mediation service conducted by experienced, Accredited Specialist Family Lawyer, Peter Hooper.
Peter has been practicing family law for almost 20 years and in this time, he has seen literally hundreds of cases resolve at many stages from pre- action negotiation between solicitors, settlement conferencing, Mediation, Arbitration and Trials before Judges. This has driven Peter’s interest in the way in which disputes can be resolved and Alternate Dispute Resolution.
Peter’s aim is to provide fast turn around mediation services with a practical resolution focus. Once a party makes contact, we swiftly invite the other party to participate, complete extensive intake procedures to diagnose the dispute and any particular requirements for your mediation. Once the preliminary matters are attended to, we arrange mediation or family dispute resolution at a venue convenient to the parties.
The process is strictly confidential and conducted on a “without prejudice” basis. This means the parties can communicate freely without fear of those communications being used in evidence should the matter fail to resolve, and Court proceedings are commenced.
While it is not Peter’s role as mediator to provide legal advice, and he remains strictly independent, as an experienced family lawyer Peter is able to swiftly identify issues that may be preventing resolution and assist parties to generate options to overcome barriers to settlement.
