Non-court dispute resolution is now a central part of modern family practice. 7BR’s family barristers offer a range of non-court dispute resolution (NCDR) options to resolve disputes about divorce, finances and children swiftly and privately, avoiding the delay, cost and stress of contested court proceedings.
Family arbitration – children and finance
Family arbitration provides a private, flexible and binding alternative to court, with the parties appointing their own specialist “private judge”. It is suitable for both financial remedy arbitration (including complex and high-value cases) and children arbitration.
Anita Guha KC MCIArb is a children law arbitrator.
Camini Kumar MCIArb is a dual-qualified family arbitrator, available to arbitrate both children and financial disputes and where appropriate both together.
Arbitration can take place in person or remotely, or where suitable on paper and allows hearings to be listed promptly with continuity of decision-maker and full confidentiality.
