Family & Private Client Mediation

Overview of Family Mediation

Family mediation is a structured process that helps families resolve disputes with the support of an independent, trained mediator.

It is helpful for:

Separating couples who need to make arrangements for children, finances, and other family matters.
When disputes can become complex and emotionally charged in inheritance matters or family-owned businesses

The mediator guides discussions, helping you negotiate and reach practical agreements that work for all. It can offer a calmer and more cost-effective alternative to court, focused on clear communication, mutual understanding, and long-term stability for your family.

Family Mediation: Private Solutions for Complex Transitions

Mediation provides a dignified alternative to the public and often adversarial nature of court proceedings. As a UK-qualified solicitor and accredited family mediator, Lubna Khan helps families in Dubai and the UK reach mutually beneficial agreements that prioritize stability and privacy.

How We Help

Divorce & Separation

We offer separated couples a safe, structured, and non-judgemental space to have the difficult conversations. With the focus on finding practical solutions that work for everyone involved, you can move forward with confidence, while avoiding the time, cost, and stress of going to court.

Child Arrangements

We offer structured compassionate guidance to parents to make co-parenting decisions and create sustainable parenting plans on issues such as child contact and living arrangements. Our aim is to create a constructive environment that protects the long-term strength and future of the family unit.

Financial Settlements

We help parties disclose and divide financial assets, property portfolios, and pensions fairly, ensuring that the resulting agreements are robust and transparent.

Property and Inheritance Disputes

Family dynamics can complicate the distribution of estates and give rise to inheritance and wealth disputes. We can mediate in these sensitive situations, helping families protect both their assets and their relationships.

Family Business Disputes

When a business is family-owned, a dispute among members can threaten the company’s survival. We can mediate internal conflicts, to ensure the business remains operational and the family relationships remain intact.

Why Choose

LKD Mediation?

At LKD, we understand that separation and divorce can feel overwhelming for every family.

If you happen to be in a position where matters need to be considered both in the UAE and in your home country then divorce arrangements can be even more complex with additional legal and practical issues that need to be carefully addressed. We understand this too.

We are also experienced in the role that culture and religion can play in shaping expectations, family dynamics, and decision-making during this time. No two families are the same and we approach every matter with an awareness of the different backgrounds, expectations, and considerations that may influence divorce arrangements. We sensitively and confidently factor these considerations into the process, ensuring discussions remain respectful, balanced and aligned with each family’s values.

We can also contact the other party on your behalf to see if they are open to mediation, handling the approach professionally and respectfully.

We then work with you both of you to help you reach clear, workable agreements that reflect your individual circumstances.
