Lawyers and Mediators
We work with family lawyers and mediators to support both them and their clients.
Through training and advice we give family lawyers and mediators the skills and knowledge to approach separation from a child-centred point of view. We also train on the importance of co-parenting, and highlight the problems that children of divorce often face if their parents are unable to co-parent.

Training
We train lawyers and mediators on how to work with clients who are in high states of emotion or high conflict. We give practical and constructive advice to lawyers and mediators to enable their client-facing work to be less emotional and more focused on the legal process.
When clients are separating it can often be hard to keep the legal process moving forward in a way that is cost efficient for the client, and time efficient for the professionals supporting them. We offer high quality training in how to keep the legal process moving, even when clients are in high states of emotion.
Our training programmes are highly regarded throughout the sector and we offer a number of options depending on your needs.
If you work for a legal or mediation firm please get in touch with us to discuss your needs.
Lawyer and Mediators
We receive regular referrals from lawyers and mediators, who refer clients for co-parent coaching alongside the legal or mediation process.
For legal clients in high conflict, we offer an intensive set of co-parent coaching to enable the mediation or legal process to be more successful and child-focused. These sessions are done in quick succession.
Please do get in touch with us to discuss further.
Professional Committees
We sit on two national family law committees: Resolution’s Parenting After Parting Committee, and the We Can Work It Out Committee, which represents legal firms who want to support clients to separate amicably.
On both committees we support the legal sector with valuable insight into the vital role that co-parenting plays in children’s welfare post-separation.
Resolution is a community of family justice professionals who work with families to resolve issues in a constructive way. It has 7000 members.
The Parenting After Parting Committee develops Resolution’s approach for lawyers working with separated parents. It aims to ensure that parents across the country receive the same standard of care and support from any legal firm aligned with the Resolution approach.
We also sit on the Board of the National Association of Separated Parent Programmes (NASPP).
Marcie Shaoul is someone you need to know whether you are a family lawyer or indeed a direct client. If you have a child-related issue where you need co-parenting advice, support, and assistance then Marcie is who you need.
Marcie is both supportive and directive in her approach – which is sensible and practical. She can give you that lightbulb moment which helps everything fall into place. Marcie’s experience is wide reaching and she can make a positive difference and add value to any situation.
Marcie understands the sensitivities and difficulties around the family dynamic, particularly if there has been a difficult break up. She guides and leads her clients through the difficult maze of co-parenting; she is both completely child-focused and able to take on board the needs and challenges faced by every parent.
I would not hesitate in recommending Marcie.

Partner Irwin Mitchell LLP
I have known Marcie for several years now. Over the last few years Marcie has been a member of the Resolution Parenting After Parting Committee with me. Her contributions on the Committee are so valuable and the work she does compliments the aims of the Committee perfectly.
I have also heard Marcie speak, most recently at the CAFCASS Children Voice day, where her presentation was tailored perfectly to the audience. I have always been impressed with Marcie’s knowledge, attitude, and approach in this challenging area of work.
Marcie works closely with the family law sector, bridging the gaps in understanding and knowledge, which is hugely valuable. Marcie has provided training to my team and works with our clients to move parents from a place of conflict to a place of communication. I would have no hesitation in referring my clients to Marcie.
