Commercial Mediation

Confidential mediation for commercial disputes. Independent mediators helping participants explore constructive resolution.

Commercial Dispute Mediation

Commercial mediation provides a structured and confidential environment for businesses, professionals and organisations to explore resolution of disputes as an alternative to commencing or continuing costly litigation and allows for tailor made solutions that might be unavailable in more formal proceedings.

Mediation Chambers provides independent mediators with professional experience in commercial environments. This means the mediator brings relevant understanding to the context and nature of commercial disagreements.

The Mediation Process

Commercial mediation typically follows a structured approach:

  • Initial consultation
  • Preparation
  • Opening session
  • Private and open discussions
  • Exploration of resolution

Confidential

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