Flexibility of Mediation

One of the many advantages of mediation is it's flexibility. In fact it can be convened anywhere and anytime and without the inevitable delays of the court process.

Earlier this week, we conducted a mediation where one of the parties attended by phone from Victoria. The same process applied with each party participating in a one hour confidential intake followed by a four hour mediation with capacity to extend.

The intake,whether by phone or in person,helps in establishing the necessary rapport and trust which are often the basis for a successful outcome.

It is not uncommon at Brisbane Mediations for one or both parties to attend by phone or Skype. While this is usually essential in International matters, it also helps reduce costs where a party is interstate or some distance from Brisbane.

In fact there is no reason why Queensland mediators can't offer the phone option to attract work from other capitals or outlying centres.
