PHARAOH MEDIATION : CMC Registered and Accredited
What is Mediation?
Our mediators are Registered and Accredited with the Civil Mediation Council which means they have undergone long and specific training to conduct mediations in accordance with the standards of the Civil Mediation Council.
The CMC believes that the characteristics of a competent mediator can be crystallised. Such characteristics engender trust, efficiency, and professionalism, and reinforce neutrality and confidence
Mediation takes less time, costs less and is usually much less stressful than court proceedings.
Mediation is an effective way of resolving many different types of dispute without any need to go to court. It is a form of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR).

The Process of Mediation
1.
Mediation can take place on site, in the participants homes (which usual for boundary disputes and neighbour disputes), at our offices in Dorchester or indeed anywhere which is appropriate depending on the nature of the dispute to be mediated.
2.
An agreement will be sent to the participants prior to the mediation meeting.
The participants will prepare and send to the Mediator a note of their position together with a bundle of any relevant documents.
3.
The Mediator will read the papers carefully to understand the positions of the participants and the case before the mediation begins.
A legal representative may attend the hearing with the participants, such as solicitor for example.
4.
Participants will be asked to sign a Mediation Agreement before the mediation commences to ensure that all participants understand the process and that they confirm that the mediation discussions are to remain confidential.
Participants are given their own rooms to preserve confidentiality.
5.
The Mediator then shuttles between the parties during the mediation, asking questions of each participant about the dispute and exploring whether an agreement can be achieved.
6.
It may be that the participants will wish to discuss their issues on a face to face basis but this is not undertaken without the consent of all participants concerned and in the presence of the Mediator at all times.
The costs of the mediation are usually shared.
