How Long does mediation take?
The full Mediation process in general takes a week or two. However, it is worth to mention that different disputes require different approaches. Some disputes can be resolved during one or two sessions, while some problematic cases can be dragged for months.
Do I need a lawyer for Mediation?
Mediation can be conducted without any legal help. In certain cases it is highly advisable to have a lawyer or a person with a legal background by your side.
Who pays for mediation?
Parties are free to agree on the division of costs. Usually the mediation costs are split 50/50.
Why is Mediation quicker than litigation?
In many jurisdictions, where local courts have to handle big volume of cases and have a significant backlog, it is much faster to initiate a mediation session because mediation is less formal and based on the collaborative approach, where both parties (generally) are interested to settle the dispute in a short period of time.
Will my mediator provide the resolution?
No, mediators do not provide solutions. Mediators facilitate conversation and steer the discussion in the right direction.
Can we mediate online?
Certainly! Online mediation became one of the most efficient manners of settling cross-border disputes.
