Hall Brown Family Law has announced the launch of a comprehensive mediation service, moving to meet the growing need for alternative dispute resolution in the face of increasing pressures on the family court system. By offering a nationwide service, the firm aims to provide efficient and stress-free solutions to couples navigating complex personal issues.
The service will be led by Sarah Manning, newly appointed as the firm’s thirteenth partner. Sam Hall, co-founder and senior partner of the firm, highlighted Manning’s expertise, noting her more than ten years of experience as a qualified mediator. He expressed confidence in her ability to lead the service, given her focus on mediation throughout her career.
Hall Brown’s Leeds office, which opened less than two years ago and has seen remarkable growth, will be the epicentre of this new initiative. Sam Hall remarked on the significance of the office’s growth as demand for their services heightened, making Leeds an ideal location to spearhead the mediation rollout.
Sarah Manning’s role will involve not just overseeing the service from Leeds but also coordinating mediation efforts across all of Hall Brown’s UK offices. This initiative signifies a strategic expansion, following the opening of new premises in Birmingham, deemed a logical move to support the firm’s growing geographical reach.
Sam Hall also mentioned the possibility of further senior appointments to ensure the successful implementation and wide-reaching impact of the mediation service.
