Arbitration - Why It's Right For Your Client
Australians have lead the way in terms of utilising mediation as a means of resolving family law disputes but have been slow to embrace the arbitration of those disputes.
Bruce Thiele, is a family law barrister with over a decade of experience.
A significant proportion of Bruce's practice involves mediating family law disputes as an AIFLAM approved mediator and arbitrator as well as being a registered Family Law Dispute Resolution Practitioner.
As well as offering mediation services to assist resolve disputes, we will also assist parties on an interim basis.

Mediators may provide guidance about possible court outcomes and help clients understand that a compromise before court can be mutally benefical for all parties.
