About Civil and Commercial Mediation
Mediation is an extremely effective method of resolving disputes between two or more parties.
The Mediator, a neutral independent and qualified professional, assists all the sides in negotiating a mutually agreeable outcome.
Participation in mediation is voluntary and the process is private and confidential. It enables deep-seated rivalries to become unentrenched. The decision to settle and the terms of an agreement rest solely with the parties themselves, not the mediator. Participants can have anyone present that they feel would be beneficial or supportive to the process - including legal representation.
Over 90% of mediations settle on the day or shortly thereafter making it an attractive alternative to drawn-out litigation, whilst vastly reducing your legal costs and the stress associated with taking a dispute to a trial.
At a trial, only one side can win. At mediation, both sides can come away with a mutually-agreed settlement, and at a fraction of the cost!
