What is Mediation?

“The mediation process provides for a third party neutral (the mediator) to assist disputing parties to identify relevant issues, develop and evaluate options for resolution which focus on the needs and interests of the parties rather than their legal rights. This process aims for the parties to reach a mutually acceptable agreement documented and signed by the parties to give it legally binding effect. The mediator’s role is to guide the parties through the mediation process and facilitate discussion. The mediator does not advise on substantive issues or make any determinations; they must remain neutral and unbiased”.

"Mediation is the art of facilitating dialogue, fostering understanding, and crafting solutions that transform conflicts into opportunities for growth and resolution."

Benefits of Mediation

There are many advantages. In summary, these can be described as:

Greater degree of party control

The responsibility and authority for agreeing remain with the people who have the conflict. The dispute is viewed as a problem to be solved. The mediator doesn’t make the decisions, and you don’t need to “take your chances” in the courtroom.

In doing this, however, naturally, you must understand your legal rights to decide in your best interests.

The focus is on needs and interests

Mediation examines the underlying causes of the problem and looks at what solutions best suit your unique needs and satisfy your interests.

Preservation of relationships

Many disputes occur in the context of ongoing work relationships. Mediated settlements that address all parties’ interests often preserve working relationships in ways that would not be possible in a win/lose decision-making procedure.

Satisfactory results

Parties are generally more satisfied with solutions they have had a hand in creating, as opposed to solutions imposed by the third-party decisionmaker.

Informal

The process is informal and flexible; attorneys are optional. There are no formal rules of evidence and no witnesses.

Matters can be settled quickly

Mediation generally takes less time to complete, allowing for an earlier solution than is possible through investigation.

Lower cost

If you can’t agree, other legal options are still possible. The Court process is expensive, and costs can exceed benefits. Applying that money to solving the problem, repairing damages, or paying someone back may be more important. Mediation services are available at low cost for some types of cases. Even a partial settlement can lessen litigation fees later.

Confidential

Unlike most Court cases, which are matters of public record, most mediations are confidential.

Our Mediation Process

Step 1

Statements

This is where each party is required to explain the reason for calling the mediation.

Step 2

Summaries

This is where the mediator confirms the accuracy of the statements made by each of the parties.

Step 3

Agenda

A list of key topics would be drafted to guide the discussions.

Step 4

Exploration

Parties will discuss each topic identified on the list with each other.

Step 5

Private Sessions

This step is intended to check how the parties are going and discuss how they may resolve their concerns for the future.

Step 6

Option Generation and Negotiation

This step aims to generate ideas or options for possible solutions on how the parties think the dispute could be resolved.

Step 7

Agreement

This step allows the parties to make a verbal or written agreement about what they decide to do in the future.
