MEDIATION
When direct negotiation fails between parties in conflict, it’s time to involve a professional to act as an impartial third party. In the heat of the moment, it may be tempting to move straight to expensive and time-consuming litigation. Mediation provides another option to help parties in conflict reach a mutually acceptable agreement quickly and at a low cost – involving your lawyer can be beneficial as long as he or she is committed to act in your best interests. Malamed offers Sectional Title Mediation and Alternative Dispute Resolution in Cape Town.

HOT TOPICS
NEGOTIATION | SHOULD YOU BE DOING IT ALONE?
In a Sectional Title environment, this translates into wasted time, overlooked opportunities, degraded decision quality, sabotage, vandalism, restructuring, health costs and more.
MEDIATION | HOW DOES IT WORK?
Needs, fears, underlying interests, reservations, bottom lines and options of each party need to become known to, and held exclusively by the Mediator for optimal outcomes.
NEGOTIATION | THE PREPARATION
Exchanging monetary offers and counter offers is horse-trading, not negotiation. Meeting half way is fine when the stakes are so low that negotiating isn’t worth the time.
MEDIATION | WHY CONSIDER IT?
For Alternative Dispute Resolution to deliver, it has to be cost effective. For that reason [and others] it is increasingly being done online through sophisticated and secure video conferencing resources.
