What is Civil and Commercial Mediation?


Civil/Commercial Mediation is an alternative dispute resolution process often used for resolving civil and Commercial disputes. It involves the parties to a dispute agreeing to work with a trained mediator to attempt to agree on a mutual settlement of their dispute, besides going to the court proceedings.

Civil and Commercial can be easy or complex depending on the nature of the disputes. Civil Disputes can be neighborhood disputes. Commercial and civil are interchangeable and include the resolution of business disputes as well as those relating to property, tenancy, inheritance, contract, and non-matrimonial co-ownership.

How to choose a right civil and commercial mediation training Institute

The Civil & commercial sector suffers the most from believing that its model is similar to other mediation sectors. This sector operates closest to the law in situations where commercial relationships are ending. Civil and Commercial Mediation is very different from informal, ongoing relationships or the workplace, community, and family dispute settings. 

The most consistent complaints seen are where lawyer mediators have mediated in workplace or community contexts. In this situation, it is not possible to provide good service as the scenarios are different in each specific field which hampers the quality of the outcome. 

Civil & commercial mediators are trained in dispute settlement, which is very different from dispute resolution and significantly different from conflict resolution. Despite claiming that this process will have win-win outcomes, it is the fact that the dispute settlement process rests on compromise and bargaining. 

These are not facilitative mediation strategies and do not equate to win-win outcomes rather it is based on compromise and bargaining. Many trainees simply do not understand these terms accurately.
