Commercial Mediation

Benefits of mediation

1. Avoid the time, cost and stress associated with lengthy court procedures
2. 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.
3. 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
