5 questions to ask when choosing a mediator.

Just as a lawyer can’t guarantee the final judgment in a case, a mediator can’t guarantee that your case will settle at the end of mediation. 

But, choosing a mediator that all parties can trust and can develop a comfortable rapport with? It’s a decision that’s too important to leave to chance.

Here are 5 questions to ask when choosing a mediator:

  • What is your experience with a case like mine?
  • How will you assist with resolution if the other party and I are on opposite ends of how we view the circumstances?
  • What can we expect from the mediation process?
  • Do you specialise only in business mediation?
  • How are you different from other mediators?

Overall, it’s important you feel comfortable having your thoughts and feelings heard by your mediator, and that you’re confident they’re equipped to help with your specific circumstance.

The best way to find out is by organising a phone call with us. Let’s see if we’re the right fit.
