North West Mediation Solutions does exactly what the name suggests, provides accredited, innovative mediators, who understand business, to assist professionals and businesses in the North West of England.
What does mediation entail?
- Mediation is a simple process whereby an impartial third party (the mediator) helps people in dispute to find a mutually acceptable resolution.
- The length of the mediation process will obviously depend on the complexity of any particular scenario, although, in our experience, most disputes can be settled during or following a mediation lasting just one day.
- Both sides of the dispute must agree to the process as costs will typically be split equally.
Why should you use mediation?
- When successful, mediation prevents disputes from descending into litigation and court proceedings, which can be very expensive and time consuming for both parties.
- Perhaps more importantly, by preventing disputes from escalating, mediation can also help to preserve business relationships.
- Mediation uses collaborative problem solving to ensure a “win/win” solution that is acceptable to all, with a focus on the future rather than apportioning blame for what has happened in the past.
When should you use mediation?
- Although the benefits of mediation will be greater the sooner it is used, the process can be initiated at any stage in a problematic situation, even prior to speaking to a solicitor.
At whatever stage you decide to use mediation, North West Mediation Solutions is able to assist, by providing accredited, innovative mediators who understand business, and by arranging appropriate accommodation and ancillary facilities.
