Mediation Process
Mediation is a guided process where a neutral mediator helps parties share their perspectives, identify key interests, and explore solutions. Through open dialogue, they work collaboratively to reach a mutually acceptable agreement, ensuring clarity and commitment.
Introduction and Ground Rules
The mediator explains the process, establishes confidentiality, and sets guidelines to ensure respectful and productive communication.
Statement of Issues
Each party has the opportunity to share their perspective on the conflict, including their concerns, needs, and desired outcomes.
Identification of Interests
The mediator helps uncover the underlying interests and priorities of each party, moving beyond positions to focus on shared goals.
Exploration of Options
Together, the parties brainstorm potential solutions, with the mediator facilitating discussions to identify mutually acceptable outcomes.
Agreement and Closure
The parties formalize their agreement in writing, ensuring clarity on the terms and next steps. The mediator confirms that all parties understand and accept the resolution.
Virtual Mediation Benefits
While we offer both in-person and virtual mediation, virtual mediation is a new process with a number of benefits.
Efficiency
Mediation resolves disputes faster than traditional legal processes, often concluding in weeks or months.
Cost-Effectiveness
By avoiding court fees and prolonged litigation, mediation is a more affordable conflict resolution option.
Confidentiality
Mediation keeps discussions private, ensuring sensitive matters are not part of a public record.
Control
Parties maintain control over the outcome by working together to reach mutually beneficial solutions.
Preservation of Relationships
Mediation fosters cooperation and understanding, making it ideal for ongoing personal or professional relationships.
Flexibility
The process is adaptable to the needs of the parties, including scheduling and the issues addressed.
