Mediation is an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) process that aims to assist parties to address their dispute without the need (and cost) of having the matter settled formally at court.
Your Heppenstalls professional Mediator will help you resolve issues efficiently, respectfully and with minimum stress.
Disputes can be stressful, costly, and time-consuming, but mediation offers a calm, structured alternative. Guided by a neutral professional, mediation gives all parties the opportunity to reach practical solutions together. It is voluntary, confidential, and flexible, allowing outcomes to be tailored to your needs rather than imposed by a court.
Mediation is often faster and more cost-effective than court proceedings, helping to reduce both time and expense. It also supports better communication and can preserve relationships, making it a constructive way to resolve disputes while maintaining dignity and understanding for everyone involved.
We offer mediation for a range of situations, including family issues, workplace disputes, and civil or commercial disagreements. Our team is trained to listen, guide discussions, and help everyone involved move forward with clarity and confidence.
At Heppenstalls, our qualified mediator brings both legal expertise and a calm, approachable style to every session. We help individuals and businesses work through disputes with clarity and care, even in challenging or emotionally sensitive situations.
Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process where a neutral third party helps people resolve disputes through discussion and negotiation.
You can still seek legal advice alongside mediation, and we may recommend it if agreements need to be formalised.
Mediation itself isn’t binding, but outcomes can be made binding through a written agreement or consent order.
Mediation is often much quicker than going to court—many disputes can be resolved in a single session or a short series of meetings.
Family matters (like separation or childcare), workplace issues, neighbour disagreements, and commercial or civil disputes are all suitable for mediation.
