With the coronavirus pandemic forcing more people to stay home, businesses across the country must find ways to perform their work without face-to-face interactions. Yet the pandemic has not reduced sources of disagreement.
Fast resolution of conflicts is often necessary for businesses to navigate this unusual time, and mediation can help with that. Yet the demands of social distancing make traditional, face-to-face mediation difficult. To answer this concern, Tampa mediator, Jeff Lieser, offers virtual business mediation services.
What Is Digital Business Mediation?
Digital mediation is an online form of traditional mediation. Specifically, it:
Connects disputing parties with a mediator through a secure, private online conference platform.- Allows the mediator to walk the parties through their dispute without face-to-face conflict.
- Allows for electronic signatures of any resulting legal documents or agreements.
- Takes place with no face-to-face, in-person contact, helping all parties maintain proper social distancing to stop the spread of COVID-19.
With virtual mediation, you get the same high-level mediation services you expect from Mr. Lieser, but in a virtual environment.
