Comprehensive knowledge of the law and legal procedure with the capability to seek out and recognize the interests of the parties
Mediation is a process in which an unbiased mediator assists in resolving disputes between parties by applying specific communication and negotiation tactics.
Mediation, which is now mandatory for many proceedings in the civil courts, can lead to an agreed resolution of a dispute at a cost which is substantially less than going through the legal system. Steinbergs LLP's Mediation lawyers employ their experience to offer effective assistance in reaching a negotiated settlement.
Steinbergs’ Mediation group combines extensive knowledge of the law and legal procedure with the capability to seek out and recognize the interests of the parties, in order to deliver the right blend of evaluative and facilitative techniques that provides effective assistance in coming to a negotiated settlement.
Confrontations over estate-related disputes can often be fraught with not only complicated legal questions, but also with emotional issues that require a specialized, different approach. The Mediation Group at Steinbergs LLP relies upon an extensive knowledge of succession, estates and trust law, including literally hundreds of appearances in the area before the courts of Ontario.
