Mayo Wynne Baxter free legal surgery London & Brighton SOS

At SOS London 7 March 2010, and also SOS Brighton 28 March 2010, south coast law firm Mayo Wynne Baxter LLP will be running a free surgery covering all the options, including mediation and collaborative law.

It is advisable to book your space at the free legal surgery in advance by contacting Linda Lamb or Alan Larkin and letting them know you would like a free initial consultation to learn how they can help you.

COLLABORATIVE LAW & MEDIATION. What do these mean?

To help you Start Over you need someone to explain to you what options are available to sort out the issues. Mayo Wynne Baxter’s Family Team can help you during a free half hour appointment at the Starting Over Show by going through the options and helping you to decide what will be best for you.

Possibly COLLABORATIVE LAW will be the right choice for you, it has worked for Madonna and Guy Ritchie and many others. This is a new and exciting way forward where you sit around the table and sort out your problems with your ex partner with the benefit of your lawyer sitting there with you.
Perhaps MEDIATION will be the way forward for you and your family to talk through the issues. This may also include the children having a chance to have their say.
The most important thing is that you feel comfortable with your family lawyer. The free meeting gives you a chance to check us out.  At the end of the free meeting we will give you an information pack which will include information about the choices and also about other support that will help you.  After you have read the information at your leisure you will know what you want to do next.

See us at SOS London & SOS Brighton, although it may be safer to book ahead to ensure you get that free half hour.  Click here on the link to our website or call us:

Dates for two more ‘divorce fairs’ announced

23 July 2009

Starting Over Show creator Suzy Miller has announced her next two events – one in London and one in Brighton and both in March 2010.

The first Starting Over Show in Brighton this year- dubbed a ‘divorce fair’ by the media – helped more than 500 visitors who travelled from across the UK and abroad to seek advice on a range of issues from wellbeing to legal and financial.

Created by single mum-of-three Suzy Miller, the Starting Over Show has been designed to help the thousands of people in the UK who experience relationship break-ups, separation and divorce and want to turn their lives around – and literally start over.

A number of exhibitors have already signed up for the events which take place at the Hilton London Metropole in Edgware Road on Sunday 7 March 2010 and Hilton Brighton Metropole on Sunday 28 March. They include: Jaci Godman Irvine of Estate Legacy Services alongside Mystic Housewife Jane Orr and Mark Robinson of Private Wealth Management alongside makeover stylist Gay Richardson of Style Me Confident - both examples of the balance of information and inspiration that defines the Starting Over Show events.

Other exhibitors include:Jane Robey of National Family Mediation; law firm Jeffrey Green Russell; James Pirrie from Family Law in Partnership and Charlotte Friedman of the Divorce Support Group; collaborative law firm Mayo Wynne Baxter LLP; mediator and collaborative lawyer Elissa Da Costa; Armida Business Recovery; solicitors Nockolds LLP; Lambda Mediation; therapist, author and international athlete Julia Armstrong; Scott Collier Photography; ‘Unwrapping the gifts of passion’ holistic coach Vena Ramphal; introduction agency Dateline Platinum; Divorce Online; Dummies Guides; Rhythm of Life interfaith minister Estelle Williams and law firm Bennett Griffin.
Like at the first show, there will be information and inspiration all in one place, as well as workshops and seminars on a range of topics. At both events, Mayo Wynne Baxter LLP will be running a free surgery covering all the options, including mediation and collaborative law. While at Brighton, Bennett Griffin’s team of Resolution accredited family experts will be offering free, confidential advice during 15-minute surgery consultations covering everything from achieving a fair financial settlement, to attending mediation to resolve issues about contact with your children.

Suzy, 44, came up with the Starting Over Show after her 10-year relationship broke down and she was left on her own with three young children and no income. The experience made her realise just how difficult it is for people to get the information and inspiration they need to get back on their feet.

“It’s time to stop expecting people going through relationship breakdowns to feel like failures. It happens to most of us as some time or other, and it is only right that we should not ignore others going through such life-changing situations but try and help them and give them a vision of a better future.

“I’m really pleased about holding the next show in London and helping the thousands of couples in the South East who are going through divorce or separation – or even thinking about it.”
