Start Mediation Ltd Information

We practise only as mediators. We used to work as solicitors but found the legal system worked better for the lawyers than for their clients. Mediation tends to lead to better outcomes, is less expensive and is quicker than the alternatives. Contrary to popular belief, most problems or disputes do not have answers which can be found in the law. Most problems are typically brought about by a breakdown in communication. This fuels emotional and polarised opinions, which in turn typically leads to spiralling conflict. Mediation creates an environment where clear communication - not letter writing - is a priority. Mediators help the conversations along, ensuring differing points of view can be safely aired. We ensure that the discussions are respectful. This creates better understanding and greater opportunities for mutually acceptable agreements.
