Mediation

Mediation is a structured negotiation with a neutral facilitator.

The purpose is not to decide who is “right” — it is designed to help parties explore the possibilities for resolution, in a confidential and respectful setting.

As disputes gather momentum, positions harden and resolution becomes more difficult. A clear process with an agile and empathetic mediator creates the space needed to explore meaningful pathways to resolution.

Early mediation often preserves relationships and reduces cost.

Common matters

How our Prufrock mediation process works

• Intake & suitability: confidential pre-mediation discussions to determine timing and process design and planning.
• Preparation: clarifying issues, interests, foundational documents, and decision-makers.
• Mediation day: joint and/or private sessions designed for progress and psychological safety.
• Outcome: where agreement can be reached, terms are recorded clearly, with implementation steps and timeframes.
