Civil Mediation FAQs

What is a civil mediator?

A civil mediator is a neutral, independent party who can help parties come to an agreement or settlement over a non-criminal legal issue. Mediation always takes place in a neutral space, either in person or virtually, and is completely confidential.

When do I need a civil mediator?

You may want to instruct a mediator if you are involved in a civil legal case and want to end the proceedings. You can use civil mediation prior to court action if you wish to reduce the likelihood of a legal dispute. Mediators can be used with or without the assistance of a solicitor. Often, they are used to simply help two or more parties to reach an agreement where they may not be able to on their own.
