Mediation Rescue

Conflict resolution specialists

Workplace & Commercial Mediation

Mediation Rescue helps organisations, businesses and individuals address conflict through Workplace and Employment Mediation, Civil and Commercial Mediation, and other appropriate resolution processes.

Grievance brewing? Working relationship broken down? Team in conflict? Senior leaders no longer talking? Commercial dispute becoming entrenched? Start with the problem—we’ll help you find the right resolution process.

The process should fit the particular conflict and the individuals involved in it.

Based around London and the Thames Valley, we provide mediation across the UK and internationally—in person, online or through hybrid arrangements. Where we work →

Sue’s experience and credentials

Our carefully composed Co-Mediation teams bring different perspectives and styles. Our normal proposition is two mediators for one mediation fee. How Co-Mediation works

“Your relaxed and engaging approach to discussions made my first experience of mediation a positive one, and helped us to achieve a resolution of the problem without the time, stress and expense of a Tribunal – an important consideration for a small charity such as ours, but also for the other side.”

The Mediation Rescue approach

Two mediators. More perspectives.

Co-mediation brings two pairs of eyes and ears, different experience and different mediation styles to the same conflict. Carefully composed teams can create a richer discussion and respond to the people and issues involved.

Two mediators, one mediation fee.

Where Mediation Rescue provides co-mediation as part of our normal service, the mediation fee is not increased simply because two mediators are involved.

There may be cases requiring a different fee arrangement because of their scale, duration, travel or other unusual requirements. Any fee would be agreed in advance.

A process designed around the conflict

A dispute may need mediation, a facilitated conversation, conflict coaching or a combination of approaches. We begin by considering the people, relationships and issues involved, rather than assuming that one standard process will suit every case.

For workplace relationship conflict, early resolution should ordinarily be considered before a formal grievance. Safeguarding, serious misconduct, regulatory obligations and matters requiring authoritative factual determination may require a formal process.
