Mediation Services
Mediation can be a flexible, speedy and cost effective way to resolve disputes. It is a confidential process that enables both parties to explain and then discuss what their needs and concerns are to each other in the presence of an independent third party - the mediator - so that they reach an agreement between themselves.
Why choose Mediation?
Mediation is useful in a variety of disputes including: formally ending a relationship, disagreements about children, conflict resolution, neighbour disputes
- Cost - Taking the traditional legal route can be expensive. Mediation is more affordable.
- Time - The traditional legal route can be slow. Mediation can wrap things up in months rather than years.
