Mediation Explained

Mediation is a highly successful and proven form of dispute resolution used worldwide.

Latest evidence confirms that settlement is achieved in over 90% of all disputes referred to mediation.

A skilled impartial mediator works constructively with all parties to reality check points of difference and challenge entrenched views.

Parties can work together, supported by the mediator, or as appropriate, separately with the mediator using a form of 'shuttle diplomacy' to narrow issues in dispute.

Assisting parties to appreciate the realities of their positions, all in a safe, secure and confidential environment, allows the freedom to explore options for settlement.
