What to expect during mediation
Learn about the Mediation Process
The Mediation process encourages parties to resolve any disputes without the involvement of courts and costly legal fees. The process is led by an independent, impartial party known as the Mediator.
The purpose of mediation is to have parties openly and honestly discuss their concerns and to identify options and reach agreements about the future. The Mediator does not provide legal advice, they are there to ensure that the communication is respectful and productive. Where appropriate the Mediator may provide information to the parties about the alternatives to mediation. As a qualified lawyer and trained solicitor, Shiv Martin is able to conciliate the conflict by providing information about relevant law and processes, and suggestion options for resolution.
​​
In this regard, it is useful to engage with a Mediator who also has legal qualifications. Where the mediator takes a more active role in providing parties with information about the legal rights and entitlements, the process is known as a conciliation.
​​
Shiv Martin is an experienced mediator and conciliator who also trains, coaches and assesses aspiring Mediators and Conciliators across Australia through the Resolution Institute and Department of Justice and Attorney General (Queensland).
​​
Mediation can take anywhere between one hour to several days. It will depend on the dispute and the number of people involved. Most of our mediations are completed within three to four hours.
​
The cost of a mediation depends on the complexity of a dispute. What we can guarantee is that a mediated outcome will be a fraction of the cost of seeking legal advice and going through court or tribunal proceedings.
