Mediation servicesMediation is a quicker and easier way to resolve a dispute between two parties (companies, individuals etc). A neutral third person acts as the mediator to try to resolve the problem. It can save everyone a great deal of time and money, as well as the emotional trauma of a court case or prolonged legal interaction. The charity LawWorks offers FREE mediations to try and resolve disputes where at least one of the parties is unable to afford to pay for a mediator, and both sides of the dispute are happy to settle the issue out of court. What happens at the mediation? A mediator, who is a trained professional, listens to both sides and tries to help them find a solution to their dispute which is acceptable to both. The mediator will not give legal advice or impose a solution on the parties but, if successful, will draw up a legally binding agreement between the two parties, thus avoiding the need to go to court. All proceedings are confidential so, if unsuccessful, the parties are still free to pursue a court action. Who can get free mediation? LawWorks arrange free mediations for individuals and not-for-profit organisations when they cannot afford to pay for mediation. Their finances will be assessed by LawWorks reviewers. LawWorks cover all sorts of civil and commercial disputes except family and neighbourhood matters. Contact Lavinia Shaw-Brown on 020 7090 7354 or email lsb@lawworks.org.uk or visit the LawWorks website at http://www.lawworks.org.uk/ You can also complete the online LawWorks mediation application form, available from LawWorks website: http://www.lawworks.org.uk/ Your application will then be reviewed by a senior solicitor. If accepted, LawWorks will arrange the mediation and appoint a mediator. In some cases LawWorks is able to offer applicants a pro bono legal adviser. |
