Mediation and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
Dover Legal offers private mediation services for individuals, professionals, and organizations seeking a constructive, cost-effective way to resolve disputes. Mediation provides a confidential, structured process that supports participants in reaching mutual agreement, often with greater speed, flexibility, and control than court proceedings.
We assist with a wide range of conflicts, including:
Civil disputes, such as contractual disagreements, negligence claims, and personal conflicts
Professional and regulatory matters, including early-stage complaints, licensure-related issues, and workplace concerns within regulated environments
Workplace conflict, particularly among teams and professionals in healthcare, education, and nonprofit settings
Our approach is trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and grounded in practical problem-solving. We create a process that centres the individuals involved, not just the legal or procedural issues. We work to ensure that each party feels heard, supported, and meaningfully involved in shaping the resolution.
Mediation can be especially valuable when:
The parties want to retain control over the outcome
An ongoing professional or personal relationship is at stake
Emotional, reputational, or identity-based concerns are part of the conflict
Privacy, timeliness, and cost are key considerations
Mediation sessions are available virtually across Ontario. In-person options may also be available depending on location and need. For individuals seeking one-on-one guidance, we also offer tailored conflict coaching to help navigate challenging situations with greater clarity and confidence.
Whether you are responding to a dispute, anticipating one, or want to take a proactive step toward resolution, Dover Legal can help you move forward with purpose.
