What is Mediation?

Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) that attempts to find a solution to a legal problem that suits both parties. The mediation process involves the participation of a third party mediator who works to find points of agreement and help the parties agree upon a fair result.

Benefits of Mediation

Confidentiality

Unlike the potential publicity of court proceedings, everything said at the mediation is entirely confidential to the parties (unless specifically agreed otherwise).

Convenience

The mediation is arranged at a venue convenient to the parties. The Mediator listens to everyone’s view, talks to the parties privately and together, guiding them towards a settlement.

Reduced Costs

Generally the cost is greatly reduced in comparison with trying to settle the matter through court. Traditional litigation is very expensive and the total cost is highly unpredictable.

Faster Outcome

Because mediation can be used early in a dispute, an agreement can usually be reached quicker than if pursuing through the courts.

Greater Control

Mediation increases the control the parties have over the resolution. Each party are directly involved in negotiating their own agreement and no settlement can be imposed upon you.

Preserve Relationships

Preservation of relationships is a key benefit of mediation. Mediation helps participants focus on effectively communicating with each other as opposed to attacking each other.

Voluntary

Any party may withdraw at any time.
