The Top Ten Rules for Mediation Success

Related imageMediation is an alternative way to solve disputes, such as non-criminal cases. Divorce, lease disputes, child custody and labour disputes can all be solved through mediation.

When a mediation is successful, both parties involved will work together to find common ground and come to an agreement, with the help of a neutral mediator.

So what are the keys to keeping your mediation on the path toward a fair and agreeable resolution? Here are ten rules to follow. 

Rule 1 – All parties must participate in making decisions

Rule 2 – Important documents and papers must be physically present

Rule 3 – Be right, but only to a certain point

Rule 4 – Build a deal

Rule 5 – Treat both parties with respect

Rule 6 – Be persuasive

Rule 7 – Focus on interests

Rule 8 – Be a problem solver

Rule 9 – Work past any anger

Rule 10 – Always be patient
