About Mediation

Mediation offers an alternative to the traditional adversarial arena of the Court room.

We view mediation as an opportunity for individuals to come to a fair resolution of conflicts in an informal and efficient process which ensures consideration of the issues of particular concern to each side, without the substantial costs and potential risks and stress associated with litigation.

Although we cannot change the past, working together in mediation we can help you reach an appropriate settlement of your conflict, and shape your future in a way which best serves your particular needs and interests.
