Exit mediation

What does exit mediation entail?

Exit mediation is a way to terminate the conflict and the relationship amicably through mutual agreement. During this mediation, both parties are given the opportunity to express what’s on their minds. Parting ways often involves emotions, and those emotions are allowed to be present. Under the mediator’s guidance, individuals themselves make agreements on how and under what conditions they will part ways. The mediator ensures that the conditions of the agreements and the agreements themselves meet at least the legal requirements.

Reasons to choose exit mediation

• Guidance from a mediator ensures a smooth conversation and facilitates the discussion.
• Parties can express what’s on their minds. After all, the mediation is confidential.
• Parties negotiate the agreements themselves. The agreements are not imposed.
• The investment is clear and manageable. Exit mediations often take no more than one or two sessions. Including administrative costs, this typically amounts to no more than 5 or 6 hours.
