Mediation & Arbitration Developments
One key advancement in Mediation is the increased emphasis on early dispute resolution (EDR), which seeks to address conflicts before they escalate into costly litigation. This trend focuses on resolving disputes—particularly in family and civil law—earlier in the process, often leveraging techniques like pre-litigation mediation.
"The longer disputes fester, the more positions harden and costs mount."
At Consensus 360, we offer Early Dispute Resolution (EDR) to help you resolve conflicts before they escalate into costly legal battles. Unlike traditional mediation that starts after lawsuits are filed, our EDR services step in early, addressing issues like family disputes (divorce or custody) and civil matters (contracts or property disagreements).
Our goal? To tackle problems proactively, saving you time, money, and stress while preserving relationships whenever possible.
With our pre-litigation mediation, a skilled qualified neutral mediator guides you and the other party to find common ground and craft a settlement that works for both sides—before things get messy. Let us help you find peace of mind, faster!
Another significant development is the integration of technology, especially online dispute resolution (ODR). Since the COVID-19 pandemic, virtual mediation via platforms like Zoom has become widely accepted, offering flexibility and accessibility, particularly for high-level decision-makers who can participate remotely.
At Consensus 360, we offer online dispute resolution (ODR) because it’s a game-changer for saving time, money, and stress.
Why travel or juggle schedules when you can resolve disputes from anywhere? With tools like Zoom or Teams, secure messaging, and document sharing, our virtual sessions let you present your case, share files, and negotiate in real-time breakout rooms—conveniently and efficiently, no matter your location!
Lastly, legislative and judicial support remains strong for online dispute resolution.
