What is involved in mediation?
Mediation can be a proactive and healthy approach that is adopted early on to address any problems directly. When successful, mediation can often be a very cost effective way of settling a dispute without having to take any further legal action.
Mediators are independent and their role is to facilitate an agreeable resolution between parties. The process is voluntary and completely confidential. The mediator will guide parties through the process, providing a safe space to engage, often helping them to understand the differing perspectives, priorities or motives of the other, and the potential outcomes or consequences if resolution cannot be achieved.
On the day of mediation, the mediator will structure the day, listen, reframe and sometimes challenge. The mediator’s role is not to advise or judge, but to help parties reach a mutually agreeable solution.
There are various kinds of dispute that can be mediated. At Ellisons, we can assist you with:
Subject to conflict of interest checks, we take instructions from non-lawyers, individuals, professional contacts and other legal advisors.
We are pleased to work in partnership with Mediator Locator who specialise in appointing skilled mediators to guide you towards resolving your dispute. Find out more about Mediator Locator here.
