Mediation

Mediation is a process whereby Ms. Lindsay-Skynner will assist two or more parties to resolve their dispute and reach settlement. The process is confidential, without prejudice and cannot be used in court. Mediation can be used even when a court process has already begun. Mediation is generally more expedient and cost-effective. The parties preserve their relationship and each participate in the resolution of the conflict.
