Jacqueline is an accredited mediator and a member of the Society of Mediators. Her mediation skills and qualifications are fully applicable to any area of civil and private family law. Where parties prefer a meditator with specialist professional knowledge of the subject area her legal expertise is particularly focused on matrimonial finance, especially where there are 3rd party interveners or complex asset structures, cohabitee disputes and other forms of ToLATA claims, Inheritance Act disputes, trusts, ecclesiastical law and charity law. Professional legal directories have praised her ‘attention to detail’ and ‘very good sense of judgment’ and described her as ‘really very good’.
Jacqueline is keen to promote the benefits of mediation in bringing a swift, cost effective and client led resolution to complex issues, taking the view that an agreed outcome that all parties can live with is preferable to the risk, cost and stress of litigation. She particularly understands the emotional, psychological and personality factors that can lie behind disputes arising within both families and professional relationships, and is adept at enabling parties to acknowledge these and move beyond them to see the benefits of a workable compromise.
