Mediation Process
The mediation process takes between 3-6 sessions of 90 minutes each.
At the end of the mediation process we provide the parties with a
Memorandum of Understanding.
This document details all the points of agreement reached during the
mediation process.
The Memorandum of Understanding gets converted to a Settlement
Agreement by a Legal Advisor and can be made an order of the Court.
