How does Online Mediation work?
The mediation process is essentially the same as traditional mediation. The parties meet with a mediator, who helps them to communicate and negotiate a mutually agreeable settlement. The only difference is that the mediation is held online.
This is so convenient if you are able to spare an hour in your lunchtime at work if there is a confidential space you can use, or if you work away from home. We can even offer evening appointments when our offices are closed.
