Mediation
Conduct of mandatory and voluntary mediation proceedings and representation of parties in mediation.
Our firm provides an organised negotiation environment in mandatory and voluntary mediation proceedings, enabling the parties to consider the dispute, their respective needs and potential resolution options together. Impartiality and confidentiality are maintained at every stage of the process, with particular emphasis placed on enabling the parties to develop solutions voluntarily and on equal terms.
When acting as mediator, we establish the framework for meetings and communications and verify the parties’ participation, compliance with statutory time limits and the documents prepared during the process. Where a settlement is reached, the terms of the settlement are drafted in a clear and enforceable manner. When acting as counsel for a party, we represent our clients in mediation meetings and provide legal support in preparing claims, negotiating proposals and drafting settlement agreements.
