Negotiating ‘Win-Win’ Solutions

Once your Mediator has established with you how the situation has arisen, what perceptions have influenced the decisions that have been taken and what your needs and priorities are, it is highly likely that a range of possible settlement options can be created and tested.

Your Mediator will help you look closely at the advantages and any down-sides that might apply to the most realistic options so that the best possible formula for both parties can be arrived at. Negotiations can frequently include arrangements that a court would not be able to introduce – the court process after all is often seen as more ‘black & white’ in its approach, with one party winning and one party losing.

Mediation however can often negotiate that elusive ‘win-win’ solution!
