About us

25 Years of Conflict Resolution Excellence

For over two decades, Brisbane Mediations has been a trusted cornerstone of the Queensland legal and dispute resolution community. Founded in 2001 by pioneers Mike Emerson and Denise Britton, the practice established the first multi-disciplinary, panel-based mediation service in South East Queensland.

Today we continue that legacy with a modern approach to complex dispute resolution

The Multi-Disciplinary Difference

We believe that complex disputes, especially those involving families and children, often require more than just legal insight. Our practice brings together a diverse team of Family Dispute Resolution Practitioners (FDRPs), AMDRAS Mediators, Counsellors and Accountants to provide practical, sustainable solutions.

  • Expert Neutrality: Our team includes proven negotiators with backgrounds in law, psychology, and social science.
  • Focus on the Future: We pride ourselves on facilitating healthy ongoing relationships long after the initial dispute is resolved.
  • Holistic Support: We integrate child-inclusive mediation and financial coaching to ensure all aspects of your agreement are viable

Flexible Resolution Pathways

Conflict doesn’t fit a standard schedule, so our resolution process doesn’t either. We offer flexible mediation formats designed to minimize stress and maximize safety:

Expert Coordination: We work seamlessly with your existing team of solicitors, GPs, and counsellors to ensure a smooth transition

Virtual or In-Person: Attend via secure online platforms or at our professional Brisbane offices.

Shuttle Mediation: If desired, parties can remain in separate spaces (physical or digital) while the mediator moves between them.
