Why mediation works

At Fisher Law we actively encourage our clients to consider mediation as a means of dispute resolution.

There are very few situations where mediation does not lend itself to facilitating an acceptable outcome for those involved. Mediation:

Saves time through the use of a neutral third party skilled in cutting through the rhetoric;
Saves costs by eliminating a slavish adherence to cumbersome and protracted court procedure;
Reduces risk through an informal process from which parties can withdraw at any time;
Emphasises confidentiality so that if the mediation is unsuccessful any concessions made during its course cannot subsequently be relied on;
Is flexible, allowing parties to achieve tailored solutions that are not constrained by the limited options available to a Judge;
Protects and maintains ongoing relationships which may otherwise be irreparably damaged.
