Why mediate with Consensus?:

mediation works ...It's often difficult to see what's really going on in a dispute - mediation cuts to the issues

"... because it helps the parties to resolve even the most difficult disputes in a practical way. It deals with their real interests and needs without the risks and costs of further court proceedings. The parties achieve their own solution without an imposed decision."

consensus mediation's role ensures that...

  • Mediators remain wholly impartial and focused on the dispute because we handle all the fee negotiations, contracts and documents;
  • Mediators do not become disqualified from acting (even by perception) because of previous direct or frequent instructions from one party or solicitor;
  • Our experienced case managers can help smooth out pre-mediation communications between representatives in highly charged or multi-party disputes;
  • Clients and their solicitors can concentrate on the case while we sort out all the administration and logistics.
