What Is Mediation In The Construction Industry?
Mediation is a voluntary process whereby an independent mediator is appointed to help reach a settlement. The process is confidential, and once terms have been negotiated and agreed upon, this will become legally binding.
Opting for mediation in the construction industry is incredibly common amongst our clients as we focus on what each party needs rather than basing decisions on legal rights. This helps to resolve disputes quickly, typically within just a matter of days.
