Making agreements without the need for going to court.
If you are going through a divorce, you may be worried about your matter ending up in court. For most people, this isn’t required, because there are many ways to reach an agreement without the added stress and expense of going to court.
We offer a range of services to help you to do this, including Mediation, Family Dispute Resolution and Collaborative Law, which allow you to negotiate important matters and have agreements formalised into legally binding agreements, without ever stepping into the courtroom.
Led by Paul Walkden, who has extensive experience in family law and dispute resolution, you’ll be able to make decisions in a supportive environment that fosters co-operation and prioritises outcomes that work best for those involved.

Testimonials
Hear from some of our happy customers
Recently had new wills completed at Walkden Law and the process was professional and simple. We were given detailed information on what we need to consider when making decisions about a Power of Attorney and Enduring Guardianship. Annabelle was knowledgeable about how to avoid difficult scenarios we have seen in our extended families and how to avoid them. Highly Recommend!
Debbie
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! I went to Walkden Law for a fence dispute, and it was sorted out so quickly and easily - I was honestly amazed. Annabelle & Susan explained everything clearly. While I was there, they also gave me some really helpful info about updating my will, which I’d been putting off for ages. Highly recommend if you’re after a legal team that actually cares, knows their stuff, and makes things simple!
Nicole
"Highly recommend" Walkden law and mediation. The whole team are super professional and they have taken the stress away and made every experience run smoothly. Over the years I have had different situations which required both family & property legal matters. What's amazing is that it's a family run business and it's all in one spot! I have been extremely happy every single time! Thank you Susan, Grace and Paul for everything. #TEAMWALKDENLAW
