Mediation

  • What is Mediation?

    Mediation is a confidential, structured dispute resolution process where parties work toward a mutually acceptable agreement with the help of a neutral third party, known as a mediator. The most common form is facilitative mediation, where the mediator guides discussions, explores deeper interests, and helps parties find their own voluntary resolution—without imposing decisions or judgments. This approach fosters collaborative problem-solving and is often faster, more cost-effective, and less adversarial than litigation. Mediation is widely used in commercial disputes, property conflicts, contract negotiations, and civil litigation, offering a flexible and confidential alternative to court proceedings.

  • Why Mediate?

    Mediation is a cost-effective, efficient, and less stressful alternative to litigation, allowing parties to resolve disputes amicably without the need for lengthy court proceedings. Unlike traditional litigation, mediation offers a confidential, flexible process, enabling parties to work on their own timescales rather than waiting for a court determination. One of the key advantages of mediation is that it allows parties to retain control over the outcome, rather than having a decision imposed by the court. By fostering open discussions and mutual understanding, mediation helps achieve practical, mutually beneficial agreements that work for all involved.
