VANCOUVER MEDIATION SERVICES BY SYNTHESIS LEGAL

Your Path to Resolution.

At Synthesis Legal, we specialize in mediation services designed to help individuals and businesses resolve disputes amicably and efficiently. Our mediation process offers a less adversarial alternative to litigation, enabling parties to reach mutually beneficial agreements without the high costs and prolonged timelines associated with court proceedings.

In this Mediation, a defective product was the start of the dispute, but through the Mediation process, instead of remaining dueling entities, the parties discovered that the materials could be replaced with minimal impact to either side, and there was a fruitful business opportunity that they could work together to achieve. Though it was not anticipated at the outset of the Mediation, the parties were able to walk away with more than a simple resolution of the situation before them, and instead looked forward to an ongoing and profitable relationship together.

In this highly emotionally charged situation, the parties were able to come to a mediated settlement that allowed both the employee and the employer to move forward on different paths.

In this Mediation, self-represented parties sought Mediation to move forward through the dissolution of their relationship. A few obstacles stood in their way, but through the Mediation process they were able to explore what was really holding them back, and creative solutions were found that put them both at ease. An agreement was signed and there was a mutual sigh of relief that they could close that chapter and move forward without the previous challenges.

What Are Mediation Services? Why Choose Synthesis Legal Mediation Services?

Mediation is a process by which a trained, independent, unbiased third party (the “Mediator”) meets with the parties to assist with the negotiation process. Mediators are trained in helping the parties break through a negotiation dead-lock, and to identify possible solutions that may not have been considered. Mediators are not decision-makers, and if there is no agreement, the discussions remain confidential and non-binding. However, if a consensus is reached, it will form the basis for an agreement between the parties, which is enforceable moving forward.

Mediators can assist the parties to the dispute on their own, or with the parties’ own legal counsel present. This is often advisable in more complex disputes, so that the parties can get independent legal advice on their positions as the Mediation takes place. As a Mediator is a neutral third party, they cannot give legal advice to either side. Once an agreement is tentatively reached, the Mediator will advise the parties to each seek legal advice to ensure that they properly understand the arrangement before they sign-off.
