THE MEDIATION PROCESS
How Mediation Works.
❖
PREPARATION
Our mediators work with parties to understand the nature of the dispute, identify key issues, and gather relevant information.
❖
MEDIATION SESSION
The mediator facilitates a structured dialogue between the parties, encouraging open communication and exploring potential solutions.
❖
RESOLUTION
If a mutually agreeable resolution is reached, the mediator helps parties draft a settlement agreement. If no agreement is reached, the mediator may provide guidance on next steps.
