Commercial Mediation
In the commercial world, mediation is becoming recognised as a very advantageous dispute resolution process.
Some examples of where mediation can be effectively used to resolve disputes and differences of a commercial nature are:
to resolve general commercial disputes with suppliers, customers, clients, partners or competitors;
to reach settlement where they have been involved in protracted litigation and are experiencing ‘litigation fatigue’;
to resolve disputes and disagreements in family businesses;
to clarify, improve, evolve, restructure, end or dissolve a business or business relationship, affiliation or partnership;
who have hit a ‘stumbling block’ in the process of a business transaction or negotiation, to move forward;
to resolve interpersonal conflict or performance related issues between employees, executives, business partners, shareholders or directors; or
to resolve employee grievances
to assist with business rescue.
Debt Mediation
Debt Mediation is a debt management solution whereby we assess the level of over-indebtedness of consumers and negotiate with the creditors a manageable debt re-payment plan which is affordable to the consumer.
Litigation Mediation
Is a process by which a mediator assists the parties in actual (during court proceedings) or potential litigation (before court proceedings) to resolve the dispute between them by facilitating discussions between the parties, assisting them in identifying issues, clarifying priorities, exploring areas of compromise and generating options in an attempt to resolve the dispute.
It is an alternative to having the dispute adjudicated in court and can be used in general and divorce matters except criminal matters.
Medical Mediation
In the event that a party suffers financial, psychological, and/or emotional and the matter is not entirely cut and dry whether the hospital and/or the doctor is at fault, a party can approach a mediator in order to find closure and in the event that the applicant suffered a financial loss, the parties can agree on a way to repay the applicant.
The agreement can be made an order of the court for a fraction of the costs that it would have been costing both parties if they took the matter to court in legal costs.
Medical Mediation is not always as time-consuming as litigation and can be finalised quicker than waiting for a court date. It is a win/win situation.
Family Mediation
It is a process in which a mediator, who has no decision-making power, facilitates negotiations between parties with the objective of helping them to reach a mutually satisfactory settlement agreement that recognises the needs and rights of all family members.
It is also an empowering process in which parties are assisted to make mutually agreed upon parenting decisions that are in the best interest of the children and enhances the co-parenting relationship between the parties as co-parents.
