Mediation is a voluntary process in which the parties to a disagreement try to reach an agreed resolution with the help of a neutral third party. It is not a decision imposed on anyone: it works only where both sides are willing to take part.
When it tends to suit
Mediation often suits matters where the relationship still has to function afterwards, where both sides want to avoid a drawn-out process, or where the disagreement is about a workable arrangement rather than a point of principle.
What Oxthorpe does
Oxthorpe can discuss whether mediation is a realistic option for your matter, help you understand what the process involves and prepare the correspondence that proposes it to the other side.
What this is not
Oxthorpe is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice or representation. Mediation depends on the other party agreeing to take part, and no particular outcome is promised.
Discussing your matter
Send a short summary of the disagreement and Oxthorpe will explain the options that realistically apply to it.
