Commercial mediation, workplace dispute resolution and small business mediation involve assisting parties to resolve particular disputes relating to small and medium enterprises. This form of informal alternative dispute resolution follows a structured process in which the mediator acts as a neutral third party whilst supporting the involved parties to work towards a negotiated agreement where possible.
A commercial or business dispute has the potential to spiral out of control, resulting in prolonged litigation without any guarantee of success, and poses a real possibility of extensive financial losses.
Mediation provides a confidential, private, safe and judgement-free forum in which to carry out constructive dialogue, high-level problem solving and properly raise any concerns and discuss the specific dispute/s at hand. Our team’s expert guidance and support enable both parties to iterate their desired outcomes and propose possible solutions that everyone feels comfortable with.
This specialist area of mediation covers a wide range of commercial, small business and workplace-related issues and disputes, including director and ownership disputes, commercial leasing concerns, building disputes, supplier & invoicing issues, commercial contractual disputes, negligence, construction, insurance and consumer & fair trading disputes.

Conducting mediation prevents enduring a long drawn out court case, greatly reduces legal fees and allows all parties to reach a final settlement within a shorter time frame.
It is important to note that this is not a process designed to ‘uncover truths’, determine facts or highlight findings on exactly what happened, nor, do mediators make a ruling on who is right or wrong.

There are many reasons why businesses may find themselves in dispute and if this cannot be resolved between the parties themselves, mediation and commercial dispute resolution services are often sought to handle these. Commercial mediation is a voluntary, confidential and flexible form of alternative dispute resolution in which the mediator assists parties to work towards a negotiated settlement of their dispute as an unbiased adjudicator or third party. So that everyone involved is satisfied with the final agreement, the parties retain control over whether or not to settle and on what terms.
Unlike a judge, the mediator does not decide upon the commercial dispute case on its merits but instead, works to facilitate an agreement between the parties. It is the parties’ opinions, not the mediators, that matter.
The commercial mediation process is fully confidential and carried out without prejudice, providing a private forum in which the parties can gain a better understanding of each other’s concerns. This enables both parties to work through their disputes in a constructive manner so that they can fully explore potential options for a resolution.
One of the key advantages of successful commercial mediation is that business relations can be preserved, litigation can be avoided, and the parties can agree upon the proposed solutions between themselves, instead of having to attend court.

Mediation in Australia costs $550 per party for a 4 hour mediation session. Considering legal fees can start at a minimum of $300 per hour, and $5,000 per day for a barrister, mediation provides an extremely cost effective alternative.
Business disputes may be resolved by litigation in court. However, the Parties may choose an alternative dispute resolution process such as mediation. Commercial contracts may also contain provisions that mediation is attempted to resolve disputes before litigation is commenced.
Facilitated discussion between the parties in dispute will be provided by a mediator, in order to resolve identified issues and repair affected relationships.
A neutral mediator facilitates a discussion between the parties in dispute. Mediation provides the parties an opportunity to settle the dispute inhouse in a confidential setting. Workplace relationships can be strengthened where communication is entered into which will remain confidential to the discussion. The mediation culminates in a written agreement detailing the way forward for each party.
