FAQs
What types of disputes can be mediated?
Mediation can resolve a wide range of disputes, including contract issues, unpaid invoices, business partnership disagreements, property or landlord-tenant matters, shareholder disputes, construction or supplier conflicts, and more.
How long does the process take?
Most mediations are completed in a few day or over several short sessions. Complex cases may take longer, but it’s still much faster than court proceedings.
Do I need a lawyer?
You are welcome to bring a lawyer if you wish, but it’s not required. Many clients attend on their own. If a legal agreement is reached, you can have it reviewed by your lawyer before signing.
Is everything confidential?
Yes. Mediation is private, and what you discuss cannot be used in court if no agreement is reached. This allows open and honest conversations without fear.
What if we don’t reach an agreement?
Even if no agreement is reached, mediation often helps narrow the issues, clarify misunderstandings, and make the next steps clearer. You are still free to go to court afterward.
How much does it cost?
Mediation is usually far more affordable than litigation. Fees depend on the length and complexity of the session, and costs are typically shared between the parties.
Who makes the final decision?
You do. The mediator doesn’t impose a decision they guide the conversation and help you reach a solution you can both agree on.
Where does mediation take place?
It can be in-person at a neutral venue such as our ADR Centre, online via video call, or a combination of both whichever works best for all parties.
