BENEFITS OF MEDIATION

​

Mediation as an overarching framework is a flexible, time and cost effective way for parties to resolve disputes.

 

Unlike Court proceedings, mediation provides a private and confidential setting for parties to work through their dispute. Parties to the dispute are in control of the decisions they make.

​

The role of the mediator includes ensuring discussions are balanced and fair, that the underlying needs and concerns of the parties are explored, that options considered are realistic and achievable.  Should an agreement be forthcoming, we can assist document the outcomes as required.
