Founder of Clear Results Mediation
Result Mediation biedt zowel de mogelijkheid om face-to face mediations te doen als video mediations via bijvoorbeeld Skype, Teams of Zoom. In overleg met partijen wordt de juiste oplossing gekozen waarbij de voornaamste overweging is om onze klanten, onszelf en onze naasten niet in gevaar te brengen. Mediation also has become more frequent in contract and civil damage cases. There are professional mediators, or lawyers who do some mediation for substantial fees, but the financial cost is less than fighting the matter out in court and may achieve early settlement and an end to anxiety. However, mediation does not always result in a settlement.
