I’ve decided to mediate what next?

You have made the decision that mediating would be a more cost effective and timely route for resolution. When both parties in a dispute agree to mediate that’s great. But for many people that’s where they hit an impasse. What do you do next? How do you approach the other party? What do you say? In such scenarios I offer the following two low-cost services which assist in raising the suggestion of mediation with the other party and / or in many cases these introductions have ‘started’ the mediation or even triggered a settlement discussion. These options do not guarantee a party will mediate and do not guarantee the other party will respond. What they do provide is a structured way to approach the subject in what are often difficult or unknown circumstances. If you have any questions please contact me here.

Option A £35

I provide you with a template letter or email suggesting mediation, outlining details and updated to reflect your dispute. The letter / email would be reviewed by you and I, before being sent in your name. This can be sent in my name if we believe it may have a better outcome

Option B £50

Includes Option A PLUS one follow up letter or email (sent 2 weeks after initial letter or email).

NOTE

In many cases these introductions have ‘started’ a settlement discussion
