The Benefits of Mediation

  • Mediation is usually quicker and more cost-effective than other forms of resolution.

  • Mediation gives the parties control over the eventual agreement

  • The strength of disputants reaching their own agreement is that it is more likely to
    succeed than imposed solutions.

  • Mediation can take place at any stage of the dispute including prior to initiating court proceedings and might even avoid the need to go to court.

  • Mediation is carried out on a “without prejudice” basis. That means it cannot be used in any further legal proceedings

  • Mediation focuses on positive agreements and how to achieve better working relationships.

  • Mediation can help to reduce tension, anger and misunderstanding between disputing parties.
