Confidential but seeks to find a practical solution to a dispute which is acceptable to both parties.
Less costly than entering into litigation at the outset.
Includes direct communication with the Mediator which minimises the need for formal appointments. However, your Mediator is always directly available to listen to the views of all parties.
It is a flexible approach. There is no fixed formula for Mediation. A process can be agreed upon to suit all parties who wish to resolve their dispute.
