Legal Mediation for Family, Business and Civil Disputes
Mediation is a facilitated negotiation in which a mutually acceptable third party will assist in the settlement of a dispute. It is a non-adversarial process aimed at achieving consensus between the parties without adjudicating on the merits. Rather, the mediator attempts to bring disputing parties to a point where they are able to settle their differences amicably, without resorting to litigation or arbitration. Mediation can be especially effective where the chosen mediator has a particular knowledge, experience and expertise in the subject area of the dispute.
Some benefits of mediation:
- Keeps the focus on common interests, including the best interests of children
- Encourages open communication and problem solving
- Keeps decision making power in the hands of the parties
- Typically a fraction of the cost of using the court process
- Keeps the dispute a private one
