MEDIATION WITH RHD SOLICITORS
Mediation is an effective way of resolving disputes without the need to go to court. It involves an independent third party – a mediator – who helps both sides come to an agreement.
Mediation is a flexible process that can be used to settle disputes in a whole range of situations such as:
- Consumer Disputes
- Commercial Dispute
- Business / Contract Disputes
- Employment Disputes
- Family Disputes
The role of a mediator is to help parties reach a solution to their problems, and to arrive at an outcome to which both parties are happy to accept. Mediators avoid taking sides, making judgements or giving guidance. They are simply responsible for developing effective communications and building consensus between the parties. The focus of a mediation session is to reach a common ground, to an agreeable settlement for both parties in any given case.
Mediation is a voluntary process, which will only take place if both parties agree. It is a confidential process, where the terms of discussion are not disclosed to any parties outside the mediation hearing.
Mediation can help you stay in control. No one will make you do anything against your wishes. The mediator will help you find a viable solution, which works for you both and will explain how you can make an agreement legally binding.
Most people who start mediation will reach an agreement without having to drag the matter to court.
