Amazing experience
After placing an enquiry, I received a call 20 minutes later, and then 2 hours later, I had a solicitor assigned to me. They were absolutely incredible right from the word go - amazing and very prompt with replies, answering all my questions and keeping the process moving. We finally completed today and I am so unbelievably happy. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Lawhive again in the future if needed.
Lily
First class service
I initially made an online enquiry about a tricky conveyancing matter and received an immediate call back. They understood straight away what was needed and gave me a quote that was very reasonable. It was such a pleasure to find someone who was cheerful, professional and completely reassuring as I’d been getting quite anxious about the sale of my house. The service Lawhive has provided is absolutely first class and I cannot recommend them enough.

Great service from Lawhive
We used Lawhive for our conveyancing needs and our solicitor was very helpful, patient and informative. She helped us with our needs with prompt responses and provided a very efficient service.
Kelvin
Great service when you need clarity and calm
Our solicitor was warm, friendly and provided crystal clear communication. A lot of conveyancers assume customers know everything about the process already, so it was really appreciated to hear each stage included in the price given.

01 overview
Civil mediation can help resolve a variety of disputes - whether it’s over property lines with a neighbour, issues with a landlord, or even disagreements about a will. Here’s how our civil mediation solicitors can support you:
| Preparing for mediation | Your solicitor will start by discussing your case and suggesting potential mediators. They’ll work with you to share this shortlist with the other party, ensuring everyone is happy with the choice. Then it’s all about preparation - gathering documents, contracts, or any relevant evidence that strengthens your case. |
| Facilitating productive conversations | Mediation only works if the communication stays constructive. Our solicitors can act as mediators themselves or guide you during the process, making sure conversations remain respectful and focused on finding a resolution. |
| Drafting and reviewing agreements | Once you’ve reached an agreement, it’s important to ensure it’s legally sound. Our solicitors can draft and review the terms to make sure everything is clear, enforceable, and fair to all parties. They’ll keep the process moving to avoid unnecessary delays. |
| Advising on proposed terms | If the other side suggests terms during mediation, your solicitor will help you understand what they mean and assess their potential long-term impact. With their advice, you’ll feel confident in making decisions that work for you. |
Civil mediation can be a great alternative to more serious legal action like litigation. However, it doesn't suit every single case. Below are some of the common disputes that your solicitor might suggest mediation for.
| Type of dispute | Example |
| Contract disputes | Breach of contract |
| Property disputes | Boundary disputes, right of way disputes, planning disputes, neighbour disputes, land or property disputes |
| Family disputes | Divorce, custody arrangements, wills and probates |
| Personal injury claims | Accident on private property, accident at work claims |
We’re all about making legal support straightforward and stress-free. With a nationwide network of civil mediation experts, we’ll match you with the perfect solicitor for your case in no time. Here’s why people choose Lawhive over traditional law firms:
The cost for a licensed solicitor to help with civil mediation is dependent on many factors including the complexity and specific requirements of the case. On average, it is expected to range from £112-£149 but in some cases, it could cost as much as £186. However, no two cases are the same. Get in touch with us today and we can provide you with a free, fixed-fee and personalised quote for your civil mediation needs.
Civil mediation services include various stages. Here’s a step-by-step outline of the process to expect when navigating civil mediation:
| Pros ✅ | Cons ❌ |
| The cost of mediation can be much lower compared to court litigation. | If both parties aren't engaged, sessions could be unproductive. |
| Resolutions can made quickly, often within just one day. | Either party can withdraw from the mediation process at any time. |
| With civil mediation, disputes are confidential and kept out of the public domain. | Sessions aren't compulsory or legally enforced without an agreement in place. |
| The mediator is completely independent and dedicated to helping both parties. | |
| If parties can't agree, an agreement or settlement doesn't have to be made. | |
| If mediation doesn't work, other forms of ADR can be the next step. |
Civil mediation itself isn’t legally binding, but any agreements made during the process can be. Once both sides agree on a resolution, a solicitor can draft a formal agreement to make it legally enforceable. This way, everyone has peace of mind that the outcome will stick.
Typically, the cost of mediation is shared between both parties, but it can depend on what’s agreed beforehand. Splitting the cost is often seen as the fairest way to keep things balanced. Your solicitor can help clarify payment terms to avoid surprises.
Mediation sessions can often be completed in a single day, but the time it takes depends on the complexity of the dispute. Straightforward cases may take just a few hours, while more detailed ones could require multiple sessions.
Civil mediation is a flexible approach to resolving disputes between two or more parties. With the expertise of our solicitors, you can resolve your dispute and go back to everyday life. Our civil mediation services take away the strain and resolve your dispute quickly and inexpensively.
