Mediation
For property related disputes
Mediation offers an alternative form of dispute resolution that is often quicker and cheaper. It is frequently required before court procedures and is well suited to property-related disputes.
The mediator facilitates an opportunity for parties to reach their own agreement. Often described as a “safe-space environment,” mediation is highly effective, with many disputes resolved on the day or shortly after. It is voluntary, confidential and without prejudice to any later formal proceedings.
Mediation does not involve judgments or awards. The mediator remains neutral and independent, using their expertise to challenge and guide parties in developing their positions and working toward a resolution - never by giving advice, but by applying relevant knowledge to support progress.
