Disputes are a part of life, but they don’t always have to end in court. Mediation is a powerful, cost-effective, and confidential way to resolve both commercial and family conflicts without litigation. At Gigera Law Services, we provide professional mediation services in Calgary for individuals, families, and businesses seeking cooperative, legally guided solutions.
Whether you’re navigating a business partnership breakdown or restructuring a parenting agreement, our trained legal mediators help you reach a mutually agreeable outcome while saving time, money, and emotional stress.
In Alberta, 82% of litigated disputes drain over $50k in legal fees and take 18+ months to resolve. Mediation under the Arbitration Act and Family Law Act offers a faster, cheaper, and confidential path to settlement. Gigera Law’s accredited mediators resolve high-stakes conflicts in 1-3 sessions – preserving relationships, privacy, and resources.
Mediation is a voluntary dispute resolution process where a neutral third-party mediator helps conflicting parties communicate, identify issues, and work toward a negotiated settlement. It’s commonly used in both family law and civil/commercial disputes and is less adversarial than litigation.
Mediation allows you to:
Maintain control over the outcome
Preserve personal or business relationships
Avoid the cost and delays of court
Find creative solutions that a judge may not offer
Resolve issues confidentially and respectfully
While mediation is more informal than court, having a legally trained mediator offers unique advantages:
Ensures agreements are fair and legally sound
Guides parties through complex legal issues
Keeps discussions productive and focused
Helps reduce tension and improve communication
Translates verbal agreements into binding legal documents
At Gigera Law Services, we offer private mediation sessions and can also represent your interests during third-party mediation processes.
