Saves Time
and Money

Mediation costs less than litigation which can take months or years. About 70% of our mediation cases are resolved and over 90% of these cases are settled within one working day.
Control over Outcomes

Parties control the outcome of the mediation, settling only when they are satisfied with the terms. In mediation, they work together to arrive at sensible and creative ways to resolve their disputes.
Preserves Relationships

SMC’s mediators facilitate open and calm deliberations. They help to bring emotional temperature down and to help improve working relationships between parties.
Maintains Confidentiality

Matters discussed in mediation are kept confidential and cannot be used against the parties in court or in arbitration.
