Munster Mediation
opens new Ballincollig Office

With ever increasing legal fees, years of uncertainty, a marked loss of control over the situation and outcome – not to mention considerable personal grief – mediation offers a real and cost-effective alternative to litigation, or can work together within litigation to resolve matters that need not go to court. Ireland supports mediation and the EU has introduced a Mandate that makes mediated agreements enforceable as court orders. In fact, all family court matters, solicitors are

required to sign a certificate for the court attesting that they have advised their clients as to the benefits of mediation.

Munster Mediation, a Ballincollig based professional service offers a host of services to people who find themselves in conflict or disputes, providing creative and satisfying solutions for problems including: Separation Agreements (including child access and division of assets) - Workplace Grievances - Mortgage and Banking Dispute Assistance - Commercial Disputes - Family Care Agreements … and Other Dispute Resolution Assistance.
