Exploring non-court dispute resolution methods in family cases
Listen to Parklane Plowden’s latest PLP Podcast – Exploring non-court dispute resolution methods in family cases
Parklane Plowden family barristers Giorgia Sessi, Daniel Pitt and head of the Family team Julia Nelson explore non-court based dispute resolution methods, something which practitioners now have to advise clients to engage in meaningfully throughout cases.
Together they explore a range of non-court dispute resolution methods, including private financial dispute resolution (FDR) and arbitration as well as looking ahead to how AI is impacting the work of family lawyers.
Key questions covered include why legal practitioners should recommend a private FDR or arbitration, what cases they are most suited for and what impact the speed and flexibility has compared to court-based hearings.
They also discuss how to maximise the effectiveness of private FDRs alongside issues such as cost implications, judge selection, how to handle parties who back out or who do not want to settle and ensuring neutrality.
