In this podcast featuring Caroline McNally and family mediator Giles Surman, the duo champions family mediation as a superior alternative to litigation for resolving family disputes.

Giles Surman, drawing on his extensive legal career spanning criminal and family law, defines mediation as a collaborative, non-adversarial process designed to help individuals craft their own agreements regarding children and finances.
