Provided by Caroline Bowden
Very experienced mediator with over 33 years in family law.
Caroline has been a prominent figure in the field of mediation since 2006. She places great importance on being a very active facilitator, giving general legal advice and information where needed. As a solicitor embedded within the firm’s family department, she stays up-to-date with all the latest legal and practice changes.
Caroline’s calm and neutral approach is noted, whilst also being firm in moving the process along, instilling confidence in clients that she will keep the focus on exploring all avenues to help them reach agreements that are workable and lasting.
Specialising primarily in family law, Caroline concentrates on financial matters and children’s issues. She is qualified to see children within the mediation process. Her mediation fees are transparent, based on meeting times, ensuring clients have a clear estimate of costs from the outset, thereby offering competitive rates.
Described as robust, yet warm and friendly, Caroline creates a trustworthy forum for clients to work through their issues, consistently achieving high settlement rates. Her expertise isn’t confined to family mediation; as an accredited civil and commercial mediator, she seamlessly integrates facilitation skills into the hybrid and civil context, adapting her approach case by case.
Caroline’s clientele spans high-net-worth individuals, complex issues such as foreign jurisdictions, inter-generational, same-sex, and surrogacy matters, as well as cases involving mental health conditions, neurodivergence, addictions or allegations of abuse.
Outside client work, Caroline has been very active in policy matters on a national level, most recently with the crafting of the Part 3 rules to enable families to be encouraged to find solutions that will avoid court, where it is safe and appropriate to do so.
