Mediation is a recognised alternative to litigation which is:
Immediate
Mediation is arranged by mutual consent and often focuses both parties immediately on the unforeseen risks and hidden factors.
Flexible
Sessions take place in a relaxed environment and the process can be discontinued at any time if you or any party or the mediator thinks it is right to do so.
Low cost
A swift settlement may often preserve both parties' future personal, or business, relationship by avoiding lengthy rancour and escalating litigation costs. The online option saves you even more in staff and travel time and obviating venue hire.
Zero risk
You own the decision making and the option to litigate remains open, should an agreement not be reached.
Private
Discussions are confidential and entirely without prejudice.
When successful, it results in an immediate and binding written settlement of your dispute which is enforceable.
Mediation continues to be a strong option to resolve corporate disputes, with the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution's 2018/2019 survey reporting an 89% success rate.
