Frequently asked questions

We believe in transparency and providing you with all the information you need. Below are answers to common questions about mediation and our services at Common Ground Mediation Services.

What is mediation?
Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process where a neutral third party (the mediator) helps disputing parties communicate, understand each other's perspectives, and reach mutually acceptable agreements.

What types of disputes do you mediate?
We specialise in commercial mediation, employment dispute resolution, and community & civil mediation within The Gambia.

Is mediation legally binding?
Agreements reached through mediation can be made legally binding if the parties choose to formalise them through a legal document or court order.

How long does a mediation session typically last?
The duration varies depending on the complexity of the dispute, but sessions can range from a few hours to several days, often spread over multiple meetings.

What are the benefits of mediation?

Mediation is often quicker less stressful and more cost-effective than going to court. It offers more control to the disputants, can help preserve relationships, and results in creative, tailored solutions.

Do I need a lawyer for mediation?

While not required, having legal counsel can be beneficial for understanding your rights and ensuring any agreements are legally sound. The Mediator will be neutral and will not provide legal advice.

How confidential is the mediation process?

The mediation service is a confidential process, meaning discussions and information shared during sessions are generally not disclosed outside the mediation unless all disputants voluntarily agree to do so or a legal exception applies.
