Voluntary

Participation in mediation is voluntary. Any participant may withdraw at any stage.

All discussions are confidential and conducted in private. This often matters where commercial reputation, ongoing work or supply-chain relationships are at stake.

Independent

The mediator is independent and neutral. They do not decide the dispute or impose an outcome.
