Civil & Commercial Mediation refers to a method of dispute resolution where a neutral third party, known as a mediator, helps parties involved in civil and commercial disputes to reach a mutually agreeable settlement.
Civil & Commercial Mediation is used to resolve a wide range of disputes, including but not limited to:
- Contract disputes: When parties have a disagreement over the terms or performance of a contract.
- Business disputes: Such as partnership disputes, shareholder disputes, or disputes between businesses.
- Construction disputes: When there are disagreements between parties involved in construction projects, such as contractors, subcontractors, or property owners.
- Landlord-tenant disputes: Such as disputes over lease agreements, rent, or property maintenance.
- Personal injury claims: Mediation can be used to resolve personal injury disputes without going to court.
- Intellectual property disputes: Including disputes related to trademarks, copyrights, or patents.
We focus particularly on contract, business and intellectual property disputes in IT and Healthcare.
In Civil & Commercial Mediation, the mediator acts as a neutral facilitator who helps the parties communicate effectively, identify their underlying interests, and explore possible solutions. The mediator does not make decisions or impose solutions but instead assists the parties in reaching a voluntary and mutually acceptable agreement.
The mediation process typically involves the following steps:
- Introduction: The mediator explains the mediation process and establishes ground rules.
- Opening statements: Each party has the opportunity to present their perspective on the dispute.
- Joint discussion: The parties engage in a facilitated discussion to identify the main issues and explore possible solutions.
- Private sessions: The mediator may meet privately with each party to discuss their concerns and explore options for resolution.
- Negotiation: The parties engage in a negotiation process facilitated by the mediator, with the goal of reaching a settlement.
- Agreement: If the parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement, it is documented in a written agreement.
