Here to help you understand your Mediation Options, courtesy of Centennial Language I&T Corporation and BaiMei, your bilingual mediation specialist.
Court-Ordered Mediation
If it is a court-ordered mediation, after the mediation, I will give you a Certificate of Mediation, which will become a legally binding contract after the court receives and signs the Certificate of Mediation.
Other Languages
If you need an interpreter for any language other than Chinese or English, please let me know in advance and I will arrange for an interpreter for the other language at your expense. The interpreter will sign a mediation agreement to protect the confidentiality of the mediation.
The Mediation Office mediates most civil cases related to family law, probate, elder law, business law, intellectual property and patent law, real estate, workplace and commercial matters. I do not handle conflicts involving unions, but if this is your issue, please contact me and I will put you in touch with a mediator who works only in that specific area.
