For all the horrible things that Covid brought to our world, one of the great things I would suggest, is the accessibility to professionals via the internet.
I am increasingly being asked to perform mediations interstate, in remote areas and for parents who live within different states from one another.
Zoom has given us the access to hold mediation with parties regardless of their location.
Top 5 benefits of Mediation over Zoom
- You can be anywhere in Australia – you can be in one state and the other party can be located in another state. Even your lawyer can be in another location. This gives you the flexibility to choose the professional you would like to engage with rather than who is available in your area.
- You can be in the comfort of your own home – you have all you homely facilities available to you when you need to take a break.
- No travel time – simple turn on your computer 5 minutes before your scheduled mediation Zoom meeting.
- Safety – you do not have to be in the same room, let along the same building as the other party who you have the dispute with.
- Cost effective – you do not have the added costs of boardroom hire fees and possible travel.
I endeavour to offer an intake appointment within 7 days of the first contact from a client and aim to book their mediation, if appropriate, within 14 days of that initial contact.
My specialty areas are children’s matters, high conflict parties as well as extensive experience dealing with domestic violence.
