Mediation Services |
|
| |
|
 |
Founded in February 2014, the Institute of Mediators functions as a non-profit entity based in Hong Kong. Our mission is centered around delivering diverse mediation services, comprehensive training programs, and advocating for mediation as a viable alternative for dispute resolution.
Since September 2015, we have been conducting training sessions in the region of Macau. Within the Hong Kong region, we actively raise awareness about mediation through informative seminars aimed at the general public.
In June 2021, we embarked on a significant venture by establishing our very first cross-border branch in the city of Macau. Our primary objective in this endeavor is to extend our range of professional services to the Macau community. This strategic move underscores our commitment to
providing expert and tailored solutions to meet the diverse needs of our clients in the region. With our presence in Macau, we are well-positioned to bridge gaps and facilitate access to our specialised mediation services,
further strengthening our dedication to serving the local community and fostering collaborative relationships in this dynamic region.
Our core offerings encompass a range of essential services, notably
mediation, consultancy, as well as case management and educational
initiatives.

What is Mediation? |
|
| |
|
|
In essence, mediation entails a gathering overseen by an impartial third party known as a mediator. The mediator's role involves facilitating open communication among disputing parties, with the aim of achieving a harmonious resolution. This process, inherently flexible and voluntary, offers the advantage of conserving both time and financial resources, all while maintaining strict confidentiality. Notably, its paramount benefit lies in preserving relationships.
Should mediation culminate in a mutually agreeable settlement, the terms thereof are documented in a mediation agreement. The legal system safeguards the enforceability of this agreement, rendering it highly effective within the jurisdiction where it is established.
