MEDIATION BRINGS FLEXIBILITY TO THE CONCLUSION OF A DISPUTE THAT LITIGATION CANNOT DO. IT CAN WORK REMOTELY AND IN PERSON.

Mediation is a form of dispute resolution which allows the parties to take control. It is a completely voluntary process, so parties can choose how to mediate, when to mediate, who will be their mediator, where to mediate and what they want to achieve from it. Either or any of the parties can withdraw at any time, and nothing is binding until a settlement and agreement is signed

Mediation brings flexibility to the conclusion of a dispute that litigation cannot do. The needs of the parties can be explored in great depth, which may not necessarily happen in a trial. A mediator can assist the parties in exploring solutions to their problems, tailoring the mediation to suit the parties’ problems as they arise throughout the day.

Mediation is a flexible and adaptable process. It can take place in person or remotely. It allows the parties to explore the issues which are most important to them and bring closure to some sensitive issues . The mediator can work with the parties to help them through certain issues which may unknowingly be causing a barrier to settlement.

A mediation can take place in one day, in person or remotely. Litigation can take months, if not years. Mediation allows the parties to take control of timing and therefore of the costs being incurred. It also allows parties to be open yet feel protected. All discussions and any offers exchanged are confidential as between the parties and the mediator. All discussions with the mediator are confidential.

This allows the exploration of settlement.

The mediator is not there to take sides. The mediator is there to facilitate discussion, facilitate exchange of information, play devil's advocate and make the parties understand the consequences of litigation. The ultimate decision to settle is the parties’ decision
