Winsby Leyburn Mediation & Legal Services

Mediation in Lieu of Litigation

Civil litigation is an expensive endeavour that can ultimately cost individuals and businesses a significant amount of both time and money. Avoiding court can help minimise impacts to your profits and reduce your exposure to huge expenses.

We have experience in many areas of mediation.

Social

Clubs and societies

Disputes within organisations or clubs can be solved quickly and efficiently without disrupting ongoing relationships or organisational ties. Any type of dispute can be mediated if both sides are willing to participate to find a solution.

Ecclesiastical and church disputes mediation

Places of worship are meant to be refuges from the outside world, but sometimes they’re disrupted by internal or external disputes. Perhaps the tension comes from merging congregations, disagreements over renovation, or a conflict with an outside organization. Whatever the case, Winsby Leyburn mediators are well equipped to bring your discord to a divine conclusion.

Hate crimes

Often spurred by opposing worldviews, hate crime mediation can be emotionally taxing, but the resolution can be very cathartic, bridging divides and bringing both parties together. Winsby Leyburn knows how to best handle such disputes, balancing legal and empathic concerns to reach a mutually agreeable resolution.
