If you’ve never been through mediation before, the process may feel unfamiliar. The good news is that mediation is designed to be simple, comfortable, and supportive. Here’s what you can expect when working with Wersant Mediation.

1. Initial Consultation

You’ll meet with the mediator to discuss the nature of your dispute, your goals, and whether mediation is right for your situation. This session is private, judgment-free, and focused on understanding your needs.

2. Agreement to Mediate

Both parties sign a confidentiality and participation agreement to ensure a safe, respectful process.

3. Individual or Joint Sessions

Depending on the situation, the mediator may start with private meetings or immediately bring both sides together.

4. Guided Discussion

The mediator facilitates conversation, ensures each party is heard, and helps identify core issues behind the conflict.

5. Exploring Solutions

The parties work together to brainstorm options, clarify interests, and find common ground.

6. Reaching an Agreement

When both sides agree on terms, the mediator helps put everything in writing in a clear, legally sound format.

7. Final Resolution

The completed agreement can be filed in court (if needed), used in future planning, or simply kept between the parties.

Mediation is structured yet flexible — designed to help you reach a durable, peaceful outcome.
