Resolution
Voluntary
Participation in mediation is voluntary. Any participant may withdraw at any stage.
Confidential
All discussion is strictly confidential. This can be particularly important in creative disputes where profile, reputation or future work may be affected.
Independent
The mediator is independent and neutral. They do not take sides, decide the outcome, or impose a settlement.
