Case Summary and Supporting Documents
Proper planning and preparation is key to a successful mediation.
Prior to the pre-mediation meeting, I would expect you to have already sent the other party and myself your detailed case summary (nominally 3 – 12 pages long, as well as your relevant supporting case notes and documentation for review.
I will provide all the required documents for the mediation.
Mediation Agreement
This sets out the conditions that the mediation will take place under as well as what the parties can and cannot do before, during or after the mediation, it may contain confidentiality clauses, the level of authority to settle of the parties, etc.
I will provide a draft copy of a standard agreement to both parties to review and consider any changes or clauses that they feel should be negotiated and added. Time spent preparing at this early stage will help smooth the mediation process.
I will prepare then final version of the agreement which will be signed by the authorised parties at the commencement of the mediation day, however, it important that you understand that the mediation will not commence until this agreement has been signed. This ensures that any conversations, offers or settlement of the dispute and the mediation are done under that conditions of the agreement.
Online Mediation Agreement
There is a specific online meditation agreement that will be sent to the parties if the mediation takes place online.
Mediation Settlement Agreement
With the help of your legal representation towards or at the end of the mediation, this will be drafted and shaped into a detailed binding settlement agreement that will be signed by the authorised parties. It sets out the conditions of the settlement that has been agreed and decided between that parties throughout the day.
