Berkeley Square Mediation Limited

Mediation is: A process – In which a neutral person with professional skills brings together disputing parties in order that they may work together to find solutions to their issues. Consensual not adversarial – It’s voluntary and in the process parties gain comprehension of how the necessary change may be created. Private and confidential – Parties can talk without fear of come-back and can explore ways forward. Nothing said on the day can be used against anyone or repeated outside of the mediation. Impartial, neutral and independent – The mediator works equally for both parties, not being controlled by anyone and having no interest in the outcome. Focused on the future – Reviewing what has happened is done only in order to move forward to enable parties to create something better. Focused on needs – Rather than on deciding the answers to legal questions; Needs over rights; What parties want out of the situation rather than a court view Fast and effective – Statistics show that the majority of mediations settle on the day or shortly after. Flexible process – The mediator manages the process by adapting it to the needs of the parties. Creative solutions – Parties can create outcomes that a court cannot order and the process can produce surprising possibilities. Non-binding until settlement – A Settlement Agreement is only binding when both parties sign. The outcome is never imposed.
