Mediation is a waste of time if parties are too entrenched and lacking in trust, isn’t it?
The process is often the first time parties have had an opportunity to listen and be heard in the safe environment of a neutral third party. Parties who appear to be unmovable outside mediation are often putting their best case forward and refusing to accept other options. These are precisely the kind of cases where negotiation cannot proceed further without the intervention of a mediator to help break the deadlock. Our mediator panel and specialists in breaking deadlock and well used to helping to resolve cases which were previously seen as beyond hope!
