Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is mediation?
Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process where a neutral third party helps disputing parties communicate and negotiate to reach a mutually acceptable agreement without going to court.

How is arbitration different from mediation?
Arbitration is a more formal process where an arbitrator hears evidence and makes a binding decision, similar to a judge. Mediation focuses on collaboration and voluntary agreement.

Most cases resolve within a few sessions, ranging from a couple of hours to a full day. Complex disputes may require additional time, which we can discuss during your consultation.

What happens if we don’t reach an agreement?
