Civil Mediation
At Cheshire Pathway Mediation, we provide civil mediation services to help individuals and businesses resolve disputes quickly, cost-effectively, and amicably. Whether you're facing a disagreement over property, contracts, neighbours, or workplace matters, mediation offers a calm and constructive alternative to lengthy legal proceedings.





What is Civil Mediation?
Civil mediation is a voluntary process where an impartial mediator helps two or more parties involved in a dispute reach a mutually agreeable solution. It’s confidential, flexible, and focused on collaboration rather than conflict.
Mediation is suitable for a wide range of civil and commercial disputes, including:
-
Neighbour or boundary disagreements
-
Landlord and tenant issues
-
Property damage or repair claims
-
Small business or contractual disputes
-
Workplace disagreements not covered by HR procedures
-
Professional service complaints
-
Consumer and service-related matters
Why Choose Mediation?
Legal battles can be expensive, time-consuming, and emotionally draining. Civil mediation offers a better way forward:
-
Save Time – Avoid the backlog and delays of court processes
-
Save Money – Far more cost-effective than litigation
-
Stay in Control – You decide the outcome, not a judge
-
Preserve Relationships – Reduce hostility and encourage mutual understanding
-
Confidential and Neutral – Nothing shared in mediation can be used in court if it doesn’t settle
How the Process Works
-
Initial Contact – Get in touch to discuss your situation in confidence
-
Agreement to Mediate – All parties must agree to take part voluntarily
-
Session Scheduled – We arrange a convenient date and format (in-person or online)
-
The Mediation Session – Lasts a few hours and can be joint or separate (shuttle mediation)
-
Reaching Agreement – If successful, we record the outcome in a written agreement
Most civil disputes are resolved in just one session.
