Why TriMediation?

Mediation is a natural human interaction that has sustained societies since people first organized themselves into communal groups. More often than not in a dispute, a solution that reflects the best interests of both parties can be found by engaging the services of a neutral third party. Any decision you reach will be done mutually, thus making it more likely that its terms will be adhered to. Choosing mediation can mean avoiding unnecessary legal bills and protracted court trial times. Mediation can give parties better control of their own cases, since a decision reached by a judge after adversarial court proceedings will not only necessarily create a ‘winner’ and a ‘loser’, it will also be binding.


How Does Mediation Work?


Mediation is a service voluntarily chosen by both parties to help process the needs of each party and make them comprehensible to the other. The objective is to draft a solution together in which both parties walk away feeling that they have been heard and that their concerns have been addressed. A memorandum of understanding is reached, spelling out all the terms agreed upon. Once the parties’ respective lawyers provide a certificate confirming that legal advice was given, the mediator or the lawyers will draft a contract based upon the memorandum of understanding and the dispute will fall. It is this contract that then becomes binding, and a court in making decisions can use any breach of its terms.
Because a mediator’s purpose is to provide a neutral sounding ground, he or she cannot give legal advice. Many clients choose to have the mediator rather than their lawyers write the contract (after receiving legal advice) as it may save some expense.
A mediation can be open or closed. In an open mediation the mediator can disclose the result of the negotiations in a report, which can be used by the parties if they later go to court. If the mediation is closed, the mediator cannot be asked to disclose the details of the mediation. So, if the parties change their minds after getting legal advice, the court will not have access to what was agreed upon.
