Our approach is rooted in quality and integrity, ensuring that everything we do reflects our commitment to excellence and fosters constructive dialogue.

What is mediation and how can it help me?
Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process where a neutral third party (the mediator) helps disputing parties communicate, understand each other's perspectives, and reach a mutually acceptable agreement. It can save time, money, and preserve relationships compared to traditional litigation.

What types of disputes do you mediate?
Common Ground Mediation Services specialises in commercial mediation, employment dispute resolution, and community & civil mediation. We handle a wide range of conflicts within these areas.

Is mediation legally binding?
An agreement reached through mediation can be made legally binding if both parties choose to formalise it through a written contract or court order. Our mediators will guide you through this process.

What is the cost of your mediation services?

Our fees are reasonable and affordable. They vary depending on the complexity and duration of the mediation. We can provide a detailed quote after an initial consultation. Please contact us for more information on our rates.

How do I start the mediation process?

You can initiate the mediation process by completing our simple contact us form. We will arrange an initial consultation to discuss your specific needs and outline the next steps.

How long does a mediation session typically last?
The duration of a mediation session can vary greatly. Some simple disputes may be resolved in a single session of a few hours, while more complex cases might require multiple sessions over several days or weeks.

What is the role of the mediator?
The mediator is a neutral facilitator who manages the mediation process, ensures fair communication, helps identify underlying interests, and guides parties towards finding their own solutions. The mediator does not make decisions for the parties.

Do I need a lawyer for mediation?
While you are not required to have a lawyer present during mediation, you are always welcome to bring legal counsel to advise you. We recommend seeking independent legal advice before signing any agreement.
