Mediation to Agreement
When a neutral process would help you both move forward, Peace can facilitate a connection with a qualified neutral mediator in our professional network and help guide the steps around it. The mediator remains neutral. Peace continues to advise only its own client. The other person is encouraged to obtain separate independent legal advice.
How this path works
You do not have to organize every handoff alone. Peace helps guide the steps around the mediation process, keeps your own legal advice connected to the decisions being made, and helps move the result toward a clear written agreement.
Clear roles
This separation of roles is intentional. It helps protect each person's rights, keeps every professional independent, and keeps the process compliant.
Peace advises and negotiates only for its own client, within its licensed scope. Peace does not represent both people, and Peace is not the neutral mediator.
A qualified neutral mediator helps both people talk. The mediator does not take a side and does not give either person legal advice.
The other person should obtain separate independent legal advice. One professional cannot protect both people's individual interests.
Information is only shared with proper authorization and remains subject to each professional's confidentiality obligations. Nothing about your file is passed between professionals automatically. You decide what is shared, and with whom.
Mediation is a process, not a guarantee. It can help two willing people reach terms, but it does not guarantee that an agreement will be reached, and everyone is not part of one combined team. Each professional is engaged separately and keeps their own responsibilities.
Is mediation the right step
If court becomes necessary
Trying an out-of-court process does not prevent you from using a litigation lawyer later. If your matter moves beyond our scope, we can help organize a handoff of the materials that can properly be transferred. This may include completed financial disclosure, relevant documents, finalized agreements, issue summaries, and other appropriate file materials.
The litigation lawyer will decide what can be relied on, updated, or redone. Confidential or without-prejudice mediation discussions may not be transferable or usable in court.
