Disputes will happen. So how can they best be managed?

Jane and Bob Shire - mediation specialistsHow many people can say that they never have and never will be involved in a serious dispute? Conflict, whether it involves people or organisations, is an inevitable part of life. Almost always disputes consume energy and money and are stressful and time-consuming. Even minor incidents can escalate into serious conflict involving court action and even physical violence. How can this be avoided?

Mediation is being used by more and more people and organisations as a cost-effective way to settle disputes before they get out of hand.
