Commercial Mediation
Mediation is a safe, confidential and flexible forum in which you have control to settle a business, commercial or personal dispute. Mediation can keep you out of court as well as various other benefits. We can help you understand how mediation works and if it’s suitable for you.
Benefits of mediation
- Avoid the time, cost and stress associated with lengthy court procedures
- Avoid a future dispute. Unlike the courts, who only make a judgement on what has happened in the dispute, Mediation is a platform to think about the future, a forum where you can reflect on why a dispute happens and make sure it doesn’t happen again.
- You have control over the settlement. Mediation may give you a number of possible ways to move forward, and you can decide what suits you best
