What is Mediation?
“Mediation is a flexible process conducted confidentially in which a neutral person actively assists parties in working towards a negotiated agreement of a dispute or difference, with the parties in ultimate control of the decision to settle and the terms of resolution.”
The Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR)
The Advantages of Mediation

The Mediation Process
The mediation process is conducted in both joint and private meetings.
In a CEDR mediation, the mediator follows the five phases of mediation. It involves:
- Preparation Phase: Chloe will establish pre-mediation contact, explaining the process, the mediation agreement, and practicalities.
- Opening Phase: The mediator and parties deliver opening statements, stimulating dialogue and setting the agenda.
- Exploration Phase: Exchange of information, identifying a broad foundation for bargaining.
- Bargaining Phase: Outlining potential settlements, conveying offers, and breaking through apparent deadlock.
- Concluding Phase: finalising settlement terms, signing agreements, and deciding next steps if a settlement cannot be reached.
