Online Business & Workplace Mediation in North Carolina

What we can work on together
Online mediation in North Carolina: common questions
Yes. Private mediation is voluntary and the participants choose the mediator, so business partners and teams in North Carolina can mediate with Dr. Conflicts by Zoom or Google Meet. Sapir Saadon is certified by the Florida Supreme Court and is not on North Carolina court rosters, so if a North Carolina court has ordered mediation, check whether it requires a mediator from its own list.
For court-ordered mediated settlement conferences, North Carolina's statute keeps statements and conduct from being discovered or admitted as evidence, with exceptions. That statute doesn't cover private mediation, so for private sessions confidentiality is typically set out in the written agreement to mediate. Ask a North Carolina attorney if it matters to your situation.

Important to know
Mediation is not legal representation. Dr. Conflicts does not provide legal advice, does not represent either participant, and does not replace consultation with an attorney. Participants are encouraged to seek independent legal advice when legal rights, obligations, court filings, or formal agreements are involved.
