Mediation is one way for people to settle disputes or lawsuits outside of court. In mediation, a neutral third party - the mediator - helps the disputing parties look for a solution that works for them. Mediators, unlike judges, do not decide cases or impose settlements. The mediator's role is to help the people involved in a dispute to communicate and negotiate with each other in a constructive manner, to gain a better understanding of the interests of all parties, and to find a resolution based on common understanding and mutual agreement. The purpose of mediation is not to determine who wins and who loses, but to develop creative solutions to disputes in a way that is not possible at a trial.
Marc-Nicholas Quinn and Rohan G. Bansie are practising lawyers and mediators. They carry on a blended practice of law and mediation. They provide dispute resolution and conflict management services, with a focus on mediation services. They are knowledgeable, neutral, third-party professionals who have the experience, outlook, and training to listen and to help.
They provide our services anywhere in Ontario and are prepared to travel outside of Ottawa for a small additional fee to cover travelling expenses.
They offer mediation services as a member of the Ottawa Mediator Roster for the Ontario Mandatory Mediation Program. They also offer mediation services privately. They offer session by session mediation, single mediation session and when appropriate, co-mediation.
The training and experience of Marc-Nicholas Quinn and Rohan G. Bansie have enabled them to develop the skills and knowledge required for the mediation of a wide variety of disputes. They are passionate about mediation and conflict resolution.
They offer mediation services in all areas of dispute, with a focus on personal injury, insurance and general litigation matters. Additionally, Mr. Quinn is trained in family mediation and offers services in both official languages, English and French.

Outcome
If an agreement is reached at mediation, it is usually reduced in writing and it becomes a legally enforceable contract. Some or all of the issues can be resolved at mediation. |
Parties Decide
Whether or not to settle is entirely in the hands of the parties. The mediator has no decision making power. |
Confidentiality
All documents produced at mediation and all conversations at mediation are confidential. The final agreement, however, may be producible in certain situations. |
