Can the mediation be done at my office?

How long does it take to complete mediation?
There is no simple answer to this one. Every dispute is unique and the participants are unique in their perceptions, goals, perceived needs and perception of the other party’s. Some disputes can be resolved in a few hours, other, more complex disputes, take several sessions which depending upon the respective schedules can be held over the course of a month or more.

Do I need a lawyer to represent me at the mediation?
No. Mediation is not a set procedural process like litigation. Mediation is about what YOU want and are willing to give in order to reach resolution.

Can the mediation be done on a telephone conference call?
Yes. Some mediations are amenable to this style of communication but others may not be.

What happens if we cannot resolve our dispute using mediation?
If a true impasse is reached then there are several alternatives. One of the most common follow on procedures to mediation is arbitration. This is often agreed to prior to the beginning of the mediation i.e. If a resolution is not reached we will have the matter arbitrated. This is referred to as Med-Arb.
