Family Mediation Worcester: Meet the Team

Kirsty Drew, a law graduate, has worked for a number of years in legal and mediation practices and has been an integral part of our team since we established the practice almost a decade ago.

Having completed the renowned Family Mediators Association Foundation Training, Kirsty is working towards full FMC Accreditation under Paul’s supervision.  Kirsty continues to oversee the administration of the practice.

Nell is currently working towards her Accreditation.

​

Before this she worked as a solicitor, specialising in Family Law. She has experience in a wide range of areas including high net worth cases, LGBTQ clients, alternative family structures and child arrangements.

She enjoys using her professional experience to empower people to resolve their disagreements and to reach solutions that work for them and for their children.

Claire qualified as a barrister in 1994. She then became Principal Lecturer on the Bar Professional Training Course, training postgraduates to become barristers and solicitors.

Since then, Claire has been a mediator for the past nine years. 

‘I am passionate that children’s voices should be heard, and the many ways in which this can happen; from understanding about children’s developmental needs and how they interact with the necessary transition in separation, to hearing directly the child’s narrative.’ 

Neil is a member of Family Mediators Association, Resolution and The Law Society Mediation Panel. He has been a family lawyer since 1980 and a mediator since 1990 and is recognised to work with children and to undertake publicly funded work. He is also a Visiting Professor in the Staffordshire University Law School.
