Civil & Commercial Mediation
Civil and commercial mediation offers a cost-effective, efficient, and professional way to resolve disputes without resorting to lengthy court proceedings. At Dragon Mediation Investigations & Legal First Aid Services, we specialise in helping individuals, businesses, and organisations resolve a wide range of conflicts, ensuring fair and lasting solutions that work for everyone involved.
What is Civil & Commercial Mediation?
Civil and commercial mediation is a voluntary, confidential process where an impartial mediator facilitates constructive discussions between disputing parties. Unlike litigation, which imposes a judgment, mediation encourages collaboration, allowing parties to reach tailored solutions that best suit their specific needs.
Why Choose Mediation Over Litigation?
Mediation provides a non-adversarial and flexible alternative to traditional court proceedings. It allows participants to maintain control over the resolution process, fostering a cooperative atmosphere that can preserve relationships and reputations.
