Where disputes arise costing the parties penalties for delay and additional costs, Where the dispute is time sensitive and deadlines need to be met, Where there is a risk of losing a valued business relationship and business partner it is advisable to urgently and immediately mediate the issue.

Families are broken up during struggles for inheritance and while many people put it down to greed and selfishness, the real source of the conflict may be the changing dynamics of the family after the death of a father or mother.
Families need to realign with each other and adding the struggle for property is just additional salt to a wound not yet healed by grieving. Mediation can help here by de-escalating the tensions, coming up with, firstly temporary arrangements and later permanent solutions.
Traditionally amongst the Kalenjin, parents would at a later stage in life bring the families together and tell the children or beneficiaries that their intention was to settle each child with this or that property.
They were then asked to say their piece if they felt that it was unfair or they felt they deserved more and if not they would respect the parents decision after they were not there. This is a much more ‘civilised’ way of conducting you affairs and in the long run more conducive to family harmony as everybody knows what they will be entitled to claim.
Mediation can arrange such a meeting and ensure it is conducted in a fair and equitable manner with the end result being an agrreement that can be codified by an approriate legally appointed Advocate!
