Traditional mediation typically involves face-to-face meetings between parties and a neutral mediator in a physical setting. However, with advancements in communication technology, virtual mediation has emerged as a viable alternative. Mediations at Easy Way Divorce typically take place virtually over Zoom, however mediations can also take place in-person at either of our BC offices.
Virtual mediation utilizes video conferencing tools, online collaboration platforms, and other digital solutions to facilitate communication and negotiation remotely.
There are several key benefits to virtual mediation:
Accessibility: Virtual mediation eliminates geographical barriers, allowing parties to participate from anywhere with an internet connection. This accessibility is particularly beneficial for individuals residing in different locations or those with mobility constraints.
Convenience: By eliminating the need for travel and physical presence, virtual mediation offers greater flexibility and convenience to all parties involved. Participants can schedule sessions at mutually convenient times, reducing disruptions to their daily routines.
Cost-Effectiveness: Virtual mediation can be more cost-effective compared to traditional mediation, as it reduces expenses associated with travel, accommodation, and facility rental. This makes conflict resolution more affordable and accessible to a wider range of individuals and organizations.
Efficiency: Digital platforms streamline the mediation process by providing tools for document sharing, electronic signatures, and real-time communication. This enhances efficiency and expedites the resolution of disputes, saving time for all parties involved.
