Our Mediation service provides a place where aggrieved individual parties in dispute meet with a mutually selected impartial and neutral person (the Mediator) who assists them in the negotiation of their differences. This service provides solutions for conflict management and all kinds of dispute resolutions. In our mediation sessions, the decision typically belongs to the parties as the mediator does not assign blame, voice an opinion about what is right or fair, or make suggestions on the merit or chances of success if the case were to be taken to court. Rather, the mediator acts as a catalyst between opposing interests and attempts to unify them by defining the issues, eliminating obstacles to communication, and moderating and guiding the process to avoid confrontation and ill will.
How our
Mediation Works
At the beginning of the mediation, the mediator may ask the parties to agree that they would not engage in litigation during the mediation process and to hold anything that is said in the sessions as confidential and cannot be used against any party if the mediation fails. The mediator is impartial and facilitates the voicing of viewpoints and perspectives of the parties. Thus, mediation provides a safe and controlled avenue for parties to express their feelings and concerns to achieve a resolution of the dispute. Sometimes, a difference in cultural views among the parties in dispute can impede the mediation process, especially where the issues in question are contentious. The mediator’s ability to understand and respect these divergent views is important in resolving the dispute. The mediator must develop skills and awareness of cultural biases in other to be able to suggest acceptable solutions.
The mediation process generally involves an initial meeting between the mediator and each of the parties in dispute, followed by joint meetings. Where mediation is successful, it results in a Settlement Agreement which is to be signed by the parties. After the execution of the agreement, the parties may choose to convert the Settlement Agreement into a Consent Order by an Arbitrator or Court.
