Overview
What is Property Dispute Resolution?
Property disputes between family members, co-owners, landlords and tenants, or buyers and builders can drag on for years in court. Many of them are well suited to mediation, where the parties work towards a settlement with the help of a neutral mediator. The Mediation Act, 2023 provides a framework for such settlements.
We help you prepare a clear summary, send a notice inviting the other side to mediate, and arrange sessions with a qualified mediator. We are not a law firm and do not give legal advice or appear in court. Where your matter needs litigation or a legal opinion, we refer you to a qualified lawyer.
