Mediation is one form of alternative dispute resolution. Mediation is, by definition, non-binding. A deal is only reached if all parties agree to a proposal, otherwise, the conflict will continue.

Bluestone ADR offers:

• Experienced mediators to act either independently or as part of a team of mediators, with complimentary qualifications.
  
• Counselling and advice on negotiation and dispute resolution options to one or more parties to a dispute.
  
• Assistance in the design and implementation of a mini-trial. This technique is particularly suited to disputes that require an evaluative means of settlement.
  
• The design of dispute resolution systems and procedures for specific projects.
  
• The identification and utilization of other neutral technical experts and lawyers qualified to issue binding decisions where necessary.
  
• The establishment of Disputes Review Panels.
