Savings, investments and debt

Business interests and complex finances

How the process works
Step 1
Initial conversation
We explain the likely route, the fees involved and whether mediation is suitable for your situation.
Step 2
Mediation sessions
We guide structured discussions around property, pensions, savings, debts and any other financial issues that need to be resolved.
Step 3
Written outcome
If agreement is reached, we prepare the appropriate written outcome documents to support the next stage.
Step 4
Next legal step if needed
Where appropriate, the outcome can then be taken to a solicitor to progress towards legal formalisation.
What happens after agreement?
If agreement is reached in mediation, the next step depends on what has been agreed and whether legal formalisation is needed. Where appropriate, Barclay Devere can help you move forward with a clear written outcome that your solicitor can use for the next stage, including a consent order pathway if relevant.
