The Family Mediation Process with Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates

Our mediation process is structured to be effective and empathetic. It typically begins with an initial joint meeting or individual consultations to assess suitability for mediation and explain the process. The mediator then facilitates discussions, helping parties identify issues, explore options, and brainstorm solutions. We employ techniques that encourage open communication and mutual understanding, often referencing principles from the Family Division of the High Court. If an agreement is reached, the mediator can help document it, which can then be presented to the court for formal adoption as a consent order, ensuring legal enforceability.
