About

At Charlton Edwards, our mission is to assist conflicting parties find a swift and satisfying resolution to their dispute. We are dedicated to assisting the parties open up the lines of communication and negotiate a mutually agreeable way forward.

About Director, Kylie Charlton:

After working in the legal industry for over a decade, Kylie observed that litigation often resulted in the parties incurring exorbitant legal fees and an outcome that rarely reflected the responsibility and interests of the parties. Consequently, Kylie undertook specialist training and became a Nationally Accredited Mediator with the Institute of Arbitrators and Mediators Australia and founded Charlton Edwards, a company providing dispute resolution services to business across Australia.

Guided by honesty, integrity and fairness, Kylie strongly believes that mediation is the most cost effective and efficient way to resolve conflict and repair business and personal relationships.

Kylie's clients describe her as being a "highly effective mediator" who is "tough on problems, not on people." Additionally, her "impartial approach and attention to detail are second to none".

Are you a party to a dispute that is going nowhere fast?

Have you been threatened with litigation, but cannot afford to waste time and spend thousands of dollars on legal fees?

Do you need assistance with writing dispute resolution clauses into your commercial contracts?

We will meet with each of the parties to gain an understanding of the history and status of the dispute. After the mediator has met with all of the parties, an assessment will be made as whether mediation is the right process to resolve the dispute. If deemed suitable, the parties will be contacted to organise a suitable date for the mediation to take place. During mediation, the parties will have an opportunity to state their side of the story, gain an understanding of the other party's side of the dispute and work together to find a mutually agreeable solution.
