| Mediation is a voluntary process in which an impartial mediator is appointed to help the parties negotiate a settlement. In mediation the parties to the dispute are active participants and both points of view are heard. No settlement will occur without the agreement of both parties.
Mediation involves no risk, since if a settlement is not reached, either party may still take its claim to court or to arbitration. Your lawyer can attend the mediation with you to assist and advise you in your negotiation. The process is confidential and no transcript or record is kept.
Mediation is effective. Our statistics indicate that more than 80% of files settle at mediation.
Mediation is quick. Most mediations last four hours. Significant delay that is part of the litigation process can be avoided when a trained and experienced mediator is introduced at an early stage of the dispute |
