Mediation

Commercial Dispute Mediation is a flexible, voluntary and confidential form of alternative dispute resolution. It is viewed by the courts as a last resort when communication between the parties involved has irretrievably broken down.

Barretts provides a highly formalised process where our mediators will assist conflicting parties to work towards a negotiated settlement of their dispute.

Workplace Mediation

Workplace Dispute Mediation is a voluntary and confidential process that can be used to resolve a workplace conflict. In fact, Workplace Dispute Mediation is increasingly being adopted by many organisations as a less formal way to resolve a conflict at work outside of a company’s standard policies and procedures. 

Barretts will provide a safe and neutral environment for parties to share their concerns and desires whilst they are encouraged to work towards a solution that suits all those involved. 

Family Dispute Mediation is a voluntary and confidential process that can be used to resolve a family conflict especially in times of relationship breakdown, separation and divorce. Using mediation to help resolve a family conflict is often a much cheaper, faster and less stressful way to reach an agreement than going to court.  

Barretts will provide a safe and neutral environment for parties to share their concerns and desires whilst they are encouraged by our mediator to work towards a solution that suits all those involved.
