Mediation Matters
Queensland

Mediation is a voluntary* and confidential process in which the parties to a dispute, together with the assistance of a neutral person, systematically identify issues in dispute and explore options, alternatives and ways in which an agreement can be reached to resolve the dispute.

In this way, mediation is a co-operative problem solving process designed to assist the parties to a dispute to find constructive solutions.
Mediators are neutral, in that they do not “take sides” or form any judgements. Their role is to facilitate and guide the process by which the parties themselves reach agreement.

There are very few circumstances in which mediation is not an effective, prudent and sensible way of resolving disputes. Whether parties are engaged in existing legal action of any kind, or they are ‘feuding’ over a neighbourhood dispute, or they are locked in disagreement over a workplace issue or whether or not money is owing by one party to another – mediation can help. Indeed, even where one, both or many of several parties can perceive a potential dispute and wish to avoid it arising, or escalating further, mediation can help.

Where lawyers want to get a case settled and the Parties want closure – then Mediation Matters. Our Principal has broad experience in Dispute Resolution and is quite simply prepared to “roll his sleeves” and “get it done”.
