Mediation Services
Mediation establishes a mediator-led forum for the parties to meaningfully discuss, truly negotiate and potentially resolve the issues.
Inherent Law Group provides structured, confidential mediation helping families and related parties reach fair, workable agreements to avoid the time, cost and strain of court proceedings.
It’s recommended to incorporate dispute-resolution clauses in all estate planning documents mandating mediation before litigation (while simultaneously acknowledging that safety issues or financial exploitation may necessitate immediate court action).
What Mediation Resolves
Our mediators examine evidence, structure conversations, clarify issues, document proposals and help parties reach lasting agreements. These are the conflict resolution objectives of Inherent Law Group:

The Mediation Process
We evaluate relevant details, identify key decision-makers and confirm whether mediation is appropriate.
We gather related documents, define relevant issues and facilitate attendance by all involved.
We facilitate sessions (and sidebars) where each party is heard within an established agenda.
We document the terms in understandable legal language and outline everyone’s next steps.
Mediation Outcomes & Benefits
Typically, when all parties are committed to the process, we reach agreements that are understood, practical and lasting. Further, accountability mechanisms are established to ensure agreed-upon decisions are fulfilled. This is often accomplished through group check-ins, progress verification and individual follow-ups.
The benefits of mediation over other means of resolution are remarkable:
- Court Avoidance & Cost Savings
- Reduced Tension & Family Peace
- Actionable & Accountable Results
- Reconciled & Preserved Relationships
