About Mediation Services

Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) that involves a neutral third party, known as a mediator, who helps disputing parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Unlike a judge or arbitrator, a mediator does not impose a decision but facilitates communication and negotiation between the parties to help them find common ground.

Mediation law services typically include:

Pre-Mediation Consultation

Initial meetings to understand the dispute and explain the mediation process to the parties.

Mediation Sessions

Structured sessions where the mediator guides the parties through discussions and negotiations.

Follow Up

After the mediation, the mediator will ensure the terms of any settlement are fully agreed and recorded. If no settlement can be reached on the day then if the parties agree the mediator can continue to support and facilitate the parties negotiations after the mediation and very often settlement is reached within 28 days.

Clinical Negligence Mediation

Clinical Negligence Mediation is a specialized form of mediation aimed at resolving disputes that arise in the context of medical care. These disputes typically involve claims of medical malpractice, errors in treatment, or failures in patient care, often leading to significant emotional and financial consequences. The goal of clinical negligence mediation is to offer a confidential, efficient, and compassionate means for patients, healthcare providers, and institutions to resolve disputes without resorting to litigation, which can be both costly and time-consuming. This process allows for open dialogue, facilitating a resolution that acknowledges the concerns of both parties and helps maintain trust in the healthcare system.
