Civil disputes come in a range of forms and can feel both stressful and daunting for those involved. Our accredited commercial mediators help clients start conversations and negotiate their way through to settlement without the need for court intervention.
Commercial Mediation involves resolving disputes which would ordinarily be dealt with in civil court proceedings. These disputes are wide ranging and as highly-experienced Commercial Mediators, we have helped provide to resolve disputes in even the most complex of civil cases.
The process takes place over the course of one day where all agreements reached are legally binding. All decision makers must be present and parties can attend with their lawyers.
We pride ourselves on combining our strong negotiation skills with an engaging and collaborative style. Get in touch to learn more about our Civil Meditation service.

Disputes are stressful, and swift resolution is key. Crowther Mediation works to schedule a session within two weeks of referral, based on availability.
Civil disputes are rarely intentional, and many clients at Crowther Mediation seek to preserve business, personal, or family relationships. Often, maintaining these connections matters more than the dispute itself.
For a successful mediation, decision-makers (e.g., Company Director or CEO) must be present to act on behalf of the litigants. Given the effort to assemble all parties and lawyers, it’s crucial to use the time wisely and ensure binding decisions. Decision-makers should have legal counsel present to draft agreements and provide advice throughout the process.
At Crowther Mediation, we handle the details so you can focus on what matters. Our admin team coordinates scheduling, secures a venue if needed, and offers online commercial mediation via video conferencing.
During the session the parties (and their legal representatives) will be in separate rooms, whilst the role of the mediator is to go between the parties to facilitate a negotiation, reaching a resolution that works for both parties.
Managing client expectations is never easy and mediation is no exception. Tell your client about the process. Reassure them they won’t have to be in the same room as their opponent and can even arrive at different times so they don’t need to bump into each other. Sometimes, you can agree in advance they can bring someone along to support them (notwithstanding confidentiality).
If a settlement is reached, it is expected the legal advisors present will draft a heads of agreement, amended contract, amended will etc there and then and all parties are expected to sign it. Making the decision legally binding.
