Our Mediation Process

At Selborne Chambers, we make the mediation process simple, seamless and accessible. Here’s what you can expect when you choose our barristers as mediators:

Initiation
Our clerks’ administer the engagement of our barrister mediators. Our clerks will discuss with you how to retain our mediators and their fees. They will provide you with the mediation agreement. If another barrister in chambers is retained in the case then a strict information barrier will be put in place.

Preparation
Our barrister mediators work with all parties to ensure everyone is well-prepared and comfortable with the process, aiming to create an atmosphere where open and constructive dialogue can thrive.

Mediation Session
During the session, our mediator facilitates communication, encouraging each party to voice their views and work towards a mutually acceptable outcome. Our goal is to guide discussions productively, keeping focus on resolution.

Resolution
With dynamism and an emphasis on clarity, our mediators aim to help parties reach a binding and durable agreement. Once resolved, clients can move forward with confidence and closure.
