How does commercial mediation work?
There are many reasons why a commercial dispute may arise. For example, if commitments within a contract were not honoured, if mistakes were made by a supplier that caused financial loss or if there are disputes over your intellectual property. Whatever the dispute, commercial mediation is a way to reach a resolution without matters escalating to litigation.
A mediator is an independent adviser who works with each party and navigates towards a mutually acceptable agreement to resolve the dispute.
Mediators are independent, so they don’t advise either party on what they should do or issue the parties with a decision. They’ll ask the parties questions and help reveal any underlying issues. They’ll then help the parties understand the issues at hand and clarify any options available to settle the dispute.
Our commercial mediators are extremely experienced when it comes to commercial mediation and have led a vast number of parties to a successful agreement without the need for litigation.
What is workplace mediation?
There are times when conflicts arise within your own business. Some of the most common conflicts that can arise within a business include:
- Conflicts with employees
- Conflicts between managers and employees
- Conflicts between senior management and managers / employees
- Conflicts between business partners
These situations are often delicate so require mediation experts to handle the situation with care, and help resolve the issues quickly to enable a productive and harmonious business.
