International Mediation
At Cheshire Pathway Mediation, we provide international mediation services for individuals, families, and organisations navigating disputes that cross national borders. Whether you're dealing with international family matters, cross-jurisdictional business disagreements, or cross-border legal complexities, our mediation process offers a respectful, neutral, and efficient way to reach resolution.





What is International Mediation?
International mediation is a voluntary, structured process that helps parties from different countries resolve disputes without the need for costly and time-consuming legal action across multiple jurisdictions. A neutral third-party mediator facilitates communication, encourages understanding, and supports the parties in finding a mutually agreeable outcome.
Our international mediation services are suitable for:
-
Cross-border family disputes (e.g. parenting arrangements, relocation issues, maintenance)
-
International business or commercial conflicts
-
Disputes involving international property or inheritance
-
Cultural misunderstandings or miscommunications
-
Cross-jurisdictional contract issues
