Overview
Lawyers who deal with family law disputes require more than excellent legal knowledge to achieve the best outcomes for their clients – they also require strong soft skills and practical strategies to help clients successfully navigate the process.
This course aims to equip lawyers with skills and strategies to support clients going through the FDR process, particularly mediations. The course covers a range of topics including:
- Practical ways to prepare your client for mediation, and support them during the process;
- Common pitfalls lawyers encounter in the FDR process and how to successfully avoid these;
- Understanding how perception can exacerbate conflict in mediation and tools to manage this;
- Practical exercises to shift your client’s mindset – and your own – to achieve better outcomes in FDR.

Very informative and engaging - with good tips for a successful FDR processThe structure of the course was great - short videos and informative content with reviews throughout. Lots of very useful tips that could have applied to many of my past matters from many different perspectives. I will be utilising these techniques in future FDR sessions and I can definitely see the benefit to keeping clients positive and calm and preventing the vicarious trauma that may otherwise present itself when things get tense and at a point of no return.
