Asking for the services of a mediation lawyer
CIVIL AND COMMERCIAL MEDIATION
It is not so usual for a disagreement to spin out of control and devolve into formal notices and lawsuits. A dispute between neighbours, a clash between business partners, an unfair discharge or a hidden defect in goods purchased are all common events that require the services of an expert like a lawyer specialized in civil and commercial mediation. Civil and commercial mediation unlocks many advantages that can resolve conflicts in a civilized manner.
- If a case goes to court, the judge’s decision always favours one party over the other, but mediation frequently achieves results that work satisfactorily for both sides.
- The case remains strictly confidential, as opposed to a case that makes it to court.
- Both parties can maintain a cordial relationship after mediation, which is essential in situations where both parties are also parents or neighbours, or do business together in some way.
- You can expect a dispute resolution to take less time and to be less costly if you reach out to an expert like a civil and commercial mediation lawyer instead of taking the matter to a judge.
