MEDIATION SERVICES
​
As a mediator we always recommend you get independent legal advice before making an agreement.
Before entering a mediation, we recommend seeking independent legal advice to help you know what might be fair to you, under the law, in legal definitions.
Balanced Interests, Confidentiality & Lasting Resolution
​
Conflict is a simple reality of our modern lives. Although we manage it daily, once in a while we are faced with a conflict presenting no apparent solution.
​
Mediation can be a potently effective tool that allows each party to be heard, balances power, and reveals pathways to agreement that we may not see at first.
​
Through years of experience in resolving indigenous and humane sensitive disputes, I’ve come to believe that early intervention is critical to any dispute resolution, whether or not the legal system is involved.
​
Primarily, Peacekeeper Mediation's interest rests in areas where relationships matter most; Encouraging meaningful conversations, greater understanding, and paving the way towards practical solutions and better relationships.
​
At Peacekeeper Mediation we offer a wide range of alternative dispute resolution services, which can be tailored to fit your specific needs.
What Is Civil Mediation?
​
-
Civil mediation is a quick and affordable way of resolving a civil dispute, without the time and expense of going to court or arbitration
-
Civil mediation is a collaborative process where parties engage a neutral third party, usually a trained mediator, to assist them in coming to a consensual resolution of their dispute
-
The parties decide the outcome of their dispute, unlike court or arbitration where the outcome is decided by another party
-
The mediator controls the mediation process, and assists the parties with their communications and encourages a full exchange of information, perspectives and ideas
-
Civil mediation provides finality to a dispute, as there is no appeal from the decision or agreement the parties make
