What is our approach?
-
Initial planning - no-obligation discussion with the client to clarify if mediation is appropriate for the situation.
-
Pre-mediation meetings - individual discussions with the parties to understand concerns and needs, develop a rapport and plan for the combined mediation session.
-
Mediation (or facilitated discussion) - a combined session to discuss and resolve concerns, with practical steps to reset the professional working relationship usually defined in a clear written agreement.
