Mediation and arbitration
It can sometimes be beneficial for parties to use alternative dispute resolution to settle a dispute without resorting to the courts, and thus satisfy everyone’s needs and interests.
A human-centric approach that promotes satisfactory negotiations
All our professionals have a human, inclusive approach, and most importantly, they focus on the added value they bring you. Through the mediation process, we gather together the right professionals to provide neutral and objective insights to the parties and facilitate mutually satisfying negotiations. This approach encourages discussion and allows creative solutions to be found, thus reducing the disadvantages associated with traditional legal procedures.
Several members of our team are also accredited by the Quebec Bar and/or the Institut de médiation et d’arbitrage du Québec (IMAQ).
Alternative methods of conflict resolution
We work with you to build strategies that evolve toward these conflict resolution methods:
Mediation is an alternative dispute resolution method that enables disputing parties to work together to find a resolution, with the assistance of a neutral person appointed as mediator. The mediator’s role is to facilitate communication between the parties, helping them to reach a satisfactory agreement. The mediator acts impartially and does not favour any of the participants to the detriment of the other.
Arbitration is a decision-making process in which the parties jointly decide to have recourse to an arbitrator rather than the courts. The parties submit their dispute to the arbitrator, who makes the final decision.
An amicable settlement is an agreement that can be reached directly between the parties or with the help of a mediator. It is a form of agreement that satisfies everyone’s interests and avoids the need for a trial.
A settlement conference is an alternative to formal litigation with the aim of reaching an agreement, before a judge or retired judge, to resolve the dispute. Parties can explore possible solutions and negotiate settlement terms in a less formal and more collaborative way, while saving time and money.
