Understanding Mediation & Its Benefits in Kenya

Mediation, a form of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), is increasingly recognized and encouraged in Kenya under frameworks such as the Civil Procedure Act (Cap 21) and the Mediation Accreditation Rules. Unlike litigation, mediation is a voluntary process where a neutral third party (the mediator) assists disputing parties in reaching their own settlement. Key benefits include confidentiality, flexibility, speed, cost-effectiveness, and the preservation of relationships. Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates & Mediators employs skilled mediators accredited by the Judiciary of Kenya, ensuring a high standard of service and adherence to ethical guidelines throughout the process.
