Online Mediation
Online Mediation
All of our mediations are currently online, using a reliable cloud platform for video and audio conferencing. This includes divorce and family mediations, commercial mediations, and general conflicts and disputes.
We are practiced and proficcient in online dispute resolution so that your conflicts are handled quickly, painlessly, and efficiently from the comfort of your own home. This allows you to have a conversation with the other party safely while practicing social distancing. At Venn Mediation, we use online platforms to help parties to identify the underlying concerns and triggers to their dispute and we facilitate a discussion of ideas and options that can lead to an appealing and sustainable outcome for all parties involved.
Please note, that teleconferencing can add an extra layer of complexity to regular meetings. Mediation requires parties to be able to hear each other – which can be more difficult online when people are talking over each other and internet lag disrupts what otherwise would be a normal conversation.
This requires creativity on the part of the mediator(s) managing the process. In our experience, when an online mediation gets heated, a mediator can serve the parties well by adding a little more structure to the process to make sure the parties can hear each other. When parties jot notes down rather than interjecting and interrupting each other, everyone is able to hear and understand what everyone else is saying. With those additions, the mediation process can continue as seamlessly as if everyone is in the same room.
