When You Need a Peaceful Outcome
Our Dispute Resolution Team Has Your Solution

Our Dispute Resolution Team consists of experienced lawyers who are also trained mediators. As a non-adversarial form of dispute resolution, mediation allows parties to come to a settlement without emotional or financial burdens associated with confrontational court litigation.

Kirk Montoute Dawson LLP's mediators are committed to helping parties resolve disputes in a timely, amicable and cost effective manner. The benefits of using mediation to solve disputes - as opposed to court litigation - include:

• Involved parties are to determine and tailor their own settlement. This is particularly important for parents who are deciding how they will share parenting after a separation.
• Reduced costs and time involved compared to traditional court litigation.
• Mediation process is designed to give parties the best chance possible to maintain amicable relations during and after the settlement.
• Involved parties may attend mediation with or without counsel.
• Mediation sessions are typically held in a relaxed and informal setting.
• Involved parties are free to involve third parties to help them reach resolution (i.e. accountants or psychologists).
• Resolution terms are placed into a legally binding contract or Court Order by the parties' respective counsel.

   

• Experienced lawyers know the most appropriate and acceptable options available for the involved parties.
• Lawyers have specialized experience in conflict situations and are able to provide legal information that will assist in achieving a resolution.
