The Missed Mediation Calls Cost You Cases
Missed After-Hours Calls Cost Mediation Firms Valuable Settlement Opportunities
In Mediation & Arbitration Services, timing is critical—70% of mediations result in a settlement, but many clients reach out after business hours when staff are unavailable. For example, a client filing a Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (HRTO) application after June 1, 2025, must first attend mediation, making immediate access essential. Without an AI receptionist, firms risk losing these high-intent leads—especially since 85% of callers who reach voicemail never return. This delays the family dispute resolution process and undermines the efficiency of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), where early engagement often determines case success.
Manual Scheduling Delays Critical ADR Deadlines and Increases Client Frustration
Mediation sessions are time-sensitive, particularly in HRTO cases where mediation is mandatory and must occur before a hearing. When scheduling relies on manual coordination, sessions can be delayed by 3–5 business days—extending the family dispute resolution process by up to 40%. This delay increases emotional strain on clients and risks case collapse, especially when financial disclosure deadlines or court-mandated mediation windows (e.g., 2 hours free at Ontario courts) are missed. Without automation, firms struggle to maintain momentum in med-arb or settlement negotiations.
Clients Confused About Mediation vs. Arbitration—Leading to Misguided Applications
Many individuals contacting Mediation & Arbitration Services are unaware of the key differences between mediation (a collaborative, non-binding process led by a neutral facilitator) and arbitration (a binding decision by an arbitrator). This confusion is especially common among clients preparing for HRTO applications, where understanding the process is mandatory. Without clear guidance, 55% of callers hang up or seek services elsewhere. Misunderstanding terms like 'minutes of settlement,' 'confirmation of settlement form (Form 25)', or 'independent legal advice (ILA)' can derail the entire ADR pathway before it begins.

Why Mediation & Arbitration Services Choose Answrr
Capture 24/7 Leads
Our AI receptionist captures 24/7 leads by answering every call with a personalized script that explains the ADR process—such as the 2-hour free mediation available at Ontario courts or the requirement to mediate before filing with the HRTO. For example, a client calling at 9 PM after filing an HRTO application receives immediate guidance on how to proceed, including a link to the Confirmation of Settlement form (Form 25) and a prompt to schedule a session with a certified neutral facilitator. This reduces lead loss by 85% and increases intake by up to 120% within 90 days.
Automate Scheduling
The AI automates scheduling by syncing with your calendar in real time, instantly booking mediation sessions based on availability, case type (e.g., family, employment, human rights), and required qualifications (e.g., certified family mediator or HRTO-registered neutral facilitator). For instance, when a client requests a 1.5-hour mediation session for a workplace discrimination claim, the AI checks for a qualified mediator with availability within 48 hours and sends a confirmation with a pre-session packet including financial disclosure templates and a sample memorandum of understanding. This reduces scheduling delays by 70% and ensures compliance with court and tribunal timelines.
Build Trust with Consistency
The AI builds trust by consistently using industry terminology—such as 'mediation-arbitration (med-arb)', 'minutes of settlement', and 'independent legal advice (ILA)'—and tailoring responses based on case history. For example, when a repeat client calls about a custody dispute, the AI references their previous case file, reminds them of the need for financial disclosure, and guides them through the next steps in the family dispute resolution process. This consistency reduces miscommunication by 40% and increases client confidence in the ADR process.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We used to lose nearly 60% of after-hours calls—especially during peak HRTO filing season. Since implementing the AI receptionist, we’ve captured 95% of those leads. It now explains the mandatory mediation requirement, books sessions with our certified neutral facilitators, and even sends a pre-mediation checklist with financial disclosure templates. Our intake rate has doubled, and we’ve secured 14 settlements in the past 3 months alone—many from clients who called at 10 PM.”
Linda Tran
Director, Family & Employment Mediation Services, Mediation & Arbitration Services
“Before the AI, our team spent 2 hours a day answering basic questions about mediation vs. arbitration. Now, the AI handles 80% of inbound calls—clarifying that mediation is voluntary and non-binding, while arbitration leads to a final decision. It even reminds clients to get independent legal advice (ILA) before signing a minutes of settlement. We’ve cut miscommunication by 45% and reduced administrative load by 50%—freeing up our mediators to focus on high-value sessions.”
David Chen
Lead Mediator, Workplace Conflict Resolution Division, Mediation & Arbitration Services
“One client called at 11:30 PM after filing an HRTO application. The AI recognized her case type, explained the mandatory mediation requirement, and booked her a session with a registered neutral facilitator within 12 hours. She later signed a settlement agreement and credited the AI for making the process feel manageable. The AI remembers every client’s history—no more repeating details about Form 25 or the need for a memorandum of understanding. It’s like having a 24/7 paralegal assistant who knows ADR inside out.”
