This week (26-30 January 2026), we are supporting Family Mediation Week 2026 – an annual campaign organised by the Family Mediation Council aimed at promoting mediation.

During the course of this week, the Family Mediation Council are hosting a series of free webinars for both the public and legal professionals. The webinars explore different topics and aspects of mediation to help more people understand how it can enable separating couples to make decisions about their future.  A timetable for all sessions and the registration link can be found here.

Family Mediation Week is a reminder to us all that mediation is not just a tool for resolving conflict – it is a way for separating couples to regain control, rebuild trust and shape their own outcomes. It provides a safe environment for people to discuss the things that actually matter to them and explore possible solutions which are sustainable in the long term.

Having launched our own mediation service at the end of last year, we are delighted to be supporting this initiative. For more information on how mediation works, visit our Mediation webpage. If you have any questions or would like some guidance in relation to mediation, please do not hesitate to reach out to mediation@lakelegal.co.uk or call us on 0113 357 1270.
