Mediation. Mediation is an informal proceeding where an impartial third party, the mediator, works with the parties to facilitate a settlement of the dispute. In the current environment of COVID-19, mediation can be done via Zoom or Meet or other online platform of your choice.
Daria conducts a mediation in any context: pre-litigation, during litigation, under a contractual obligation which requires parties to engage in Alternative Dispute Resolution.
Usually a mediator does not make any decisions about the dispute. The idea is to create an environment and focus the issues in a way that encourages the parties to develop a mutually acceptable settlement. In mediation, the parties control the solution to the dispute.
Daria is a Rule 114 Qualified Mediator.
