Civil Mediation

Civil mediation for individuals and organisations seeking structured and confidential resolution of disputes.

Civil Dispute Mediation

Civil mediation provides a structured approach for individuals, organisations and those in professional relationships to explore resolution of disputes in a constructive and confidential environment.

The process involves structured conversation facilitated by an independent mediator. The mediator does not provide advice or make judgments. Their role is to help participants explore the issues and potential ways forward.

Civil mediation can be beneficial where participants wish to avoid the cost, disruption and uncertainty associated with court proceedings, or where preserving an ongoing relationship is a consideration.

  • Initial consultation
  • Preparation
  • Opening session
  • Private and open discussions

Confidential

All discussions during civil mediation are confidential and without prejudice. No notes are retained by the mediator.
