Civil Mediation

1. Initial Conversation
   We start with a brief, confidential call to understand the issues, who’s involved, and any time sensitivities.

2. Scheduling the Session
   If mediation is appropriate, we’ll arrange a date—either online or at a neutral venue that suits everyone.

3. Opening Meeting
   The session begins with a short joint meeting to set the agenda and establish ground rules.

4. Private Discussions
   Each party then meets privately with the mediator. We help explore options, evaluate proposals, and work toward resolution.

5. Conclusion
   Most civil mediations are completed within a day. If agreement is reached, we’ll help record the terms in writing. If not, you’ll leave with clearer issues, practical next steps, and a better understanding of your settlement range.

Mediation is a flexible process. While we follow a clear structure, we can adapt certain elements to suit the needs of the people involved—provided it supports fairness, clarity, and progress.

• Confidential: speak openly without prejudice or publicity

• Efficient and cost-effective: often faster and more affordable than litigation

• You stay in control: no judge, no imposed outcome, no surprises

• Flexible solutions: outcomes tailored to your needs, beyond what a court can order

• Relationship-preserving: reduces stress and supports constructive dialogue

Clients value Laricelle Fouchee’s calm, structured approach, legal insight, and unwavering neutrality. With experience across neighbour, property, consumer, and commercial disputes, we focus on momentum, clarity, and fair, workable outcomes.

From first call to final agreement, you’ll feel heard, supported, and in control.
