It is a process by which a mediator assists the parties in a legal dispute by: facilitating discussions between the parties. assisting them in identifying issues. exploring areas of compromise. generating options in an attempt to resolve the dispute.
Where we act
Our labour and employment members act for employers, employees, trade unions, retirement funds and dispute-resolution bodies. They appear in the Labour Court, Labour Appeal Court, the CCMA, bargaining councils and private arbitration forums.
How we work
Briefs may be sent directly to a named member or routed through our clerk, who will recommend the most appropriate counsel by seniority and area of focus. Opinions, drafting, mediation, hearings and appeals are all undertaken on the standard JSA tariff with clear scoping at the outset.
Who briefs us
Our Mediation members act on instructions from attorneys representing organs of state, listed and unlisted companies, NGOs, professional bodies and individuals across South Africa.
