Mediation:

Mediation is a procedure in which the parties discuss their disputes with the assistance of a trained, impartial third person who assists them in reaching a settlement. The parties are empowered to solve their problem to achieve a “win-win” solution. Mediation often promotes healing where one or both parties feels tremendously aggrieved, which allows the parties to continue their relationship, whether personal or professional.

What makes Mediation more effective than litigation?

  •       Mediators have more flexibility than judges to achieve creative dispute solutions;

  •       Mediation is quicker and less expensive than litigation;

  •       Mediation gives the parties a stronger voice in resolving their dispute; and

  •       Mediation is private and can save or mend relationships that litigation destroys.

Bumstead Legal Services will facilitate your Mediation with impartiality to help the parties come to a mutually beneficial resolution. We offer in-person and online Mediation to make the process accessible for all parties involved.

With our newly renovated boardroom and breakout rooms, we can provide a comfortable environment, allowing everyone to relax and come to an agreeable solution. We can also travel to you. Whether a workplace dispute, a limitation makes travelling difficult, or simply being more at ease in familiar surroundings, one of our team will come to your location.

In these challenging times, Bumstead Legal Services is committed to helping our community. With physical distancing, working from home, busy schedules, and concerns surrounding the current pandemic, we make connecting to an online video mediation as simple as clicking on an email link from a computer.
