Organised by the Family Mediation Council (FMC), Family Mediation Week (26 – 30 January 2026) is an opportunity to raise awareness of family mediation and its benefits to separating families.
LMP’s Managing Partner, Simon Pigott, who has been at the forefront of family mediation for 37 years, is in full support of Family Mediation Week:
“LMP has long recognised the benefits of Non Court Dispute Resolution (NCDR) and opportunities to resolve family disputes out of Court. As one of the first cohort of lawyers to complete family mediation training, I am heartened to see that Family Mediation Week has become firmly established in the legal calendar. The LMP team will continue to champion mediation and other forms of NCDR as a positive alternative to litigation.”
LMP Partner Miranda Green, who is also a trained family mediator, agrees:” Mediation is a discipline of increasing importance to both family law and LMP. We applaud the goals of the FMC campaign to ‘let more people know about the benefits of family mediation and encourage separating couples to think about family mediation as a way of helping them take control, make decisions together and build a positive future for their family.’”
The LMP website shares information about mediation, collaborative practice, arbitration, private hearings and round table meetings
