What is Mediation?

A civil or commercial dispute can affect more than the issue at its centre. It can interrupt work, increase costs and put valuable relationships under pressure. Mediation provides a structured setting for the people involved to identify what matters, test possible solutions and work towards an agreement they can put into practice.

Our practitioners are accredited under the Australian Mediator and Dispute Resolution Accreditation Standards (AMDRAS). Their training equips them to manage the mediation process impartially, support productive discussions and help parties negotiate through complex or strongly held positions. We work with individuals, businesses and organisations on commercial, contractor, workplace and other civil disputes.

Every matter begins with an understanding of the dispute and the people involved. We tailor the format and preparation to the circumstances, and parties can participate with their solicitors where appropriate. Whether the goal is to resolve a specific claim or find a workable way forward, we provide a professional process in which each party has an opportunity to be heard.
