Mediation & Conciliation Neutral
Since both mediation and conciliation require process neutrality it is VERY important to remain mindful in communications. Please make your initial inquiry through Online Booking or by email - without communicating details of any dispute. You may send requests for booking of sessions, further procedural, or cost information through online booking or by email to us. Using either method you will receive a response to your inquiry and, if applicable, one which outlines the next steps in your process.
Mediation and Non-Court Ordered Conciliation sessions are available outside of normal business hours through prior arrangement with us. Email an off time request including your availability which will be scheduled on a first come-first served basis where possible, as time is available
