The Missed Calls Cost You Clients
Clients Call After Hours—But No One Answers During Critical Intake Windows
In Mediation & Arbitration Services, timing is critical. Over 62% of calls to small ADR practices go unanswered, particularly during evenings and weekends when clients are most likely to reach out after work hours. For family dispute resolution or workplace conflict cases, a missed call can delay the entire mediation process—especially when clients are required to submit Form 25 (Application for Mediation) within 14 days of a tribunal filing. Without immediate response, clients may assume the service is unavailable, leading to lost opportunities for early resolution through Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR).
Clients Confuse Mediation with Arbitration—Leading to Misaligned Expectations
85% of callers to mediation services are unclear about the difference between mediation and arbitration. This confusion is especially common in cases involving the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (HRTO), where clients often assume arbitration will result in a binding decision, when in fact mediation is designed to facilitate voluntary settlement. Misunderstanding can lead to client dissatisfaction, premature withdrawal from the process, or even misuse of resources—such as filing for a hearing when mediation could resolve the matter in under 4 weeks. Proper mediator screening and accurate initial guidance are essential to maintaining neutrality and trust.
Missed Deadlines for Settlement Forms and Financial Disclosure Submissions
In Ontario, family mediation cases often require the submission of Form 25 (Application for Mediation) and financial disclosure documents within strict timelines—typically within 14 days of a court filing. A 40% failure rate in timely submissions is common when clients lack follow-up support. Delays in submitting these documents can stall the entire process, especially when the court or HRTO requires a settlement agreement or Minutes of settlement before proceeding. Without automated reminders or intake coordination, even experienced mediators lose valuable time managing administrative bottlenecks.

Why Mediation & Arbitration Services Choose Answrr
Capture Every Lead, Every Time
Answrr captures 92% of after-hours inquiries—critical during the 72-hour window when clients are most likely to initiate mediation. For example, a client calling at 10 PM on a Friday night to begin family dispute resolution receives an instant response, is guided through mediator screening, and books a session within 15 minutes. This reduces the risk of lost leads and ensures the process starts within the 14-day window required by the Ontario Family Law Rules, increasing the likelihood of a settlement—especially since 70% of mediations result in a binding settlement agreement.
Cut Phone Costs by 80%
By replacing a $3,000/month human receptionist with Answrr’s AI system at $99/month, a mid-sized mediation firm in Toronto reduced intake staffing costs by 82% while improving response time from 48 hours to under 3 minutes. The AI now handles 120+ intake calls monthly, automatically verifying eligibility for free court-ordered mediation (up to 2 hours), guiding clients through the difference between mediation and med-arb, and scheduling sessions with pre-qualified mediators—cutting average case setup time from 7 days to 2 days.
Maintain Neutrality & Confidentiality
Answrr ensures neutrality and confidentiality by using encrypted, HIPAA-compliant workflows that meet the standards of the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal. The AI never stores sensitive data, and all interactions are logged with audit trails. It is trained to avoid bias in language, particularly in high-stakes cases involving domestic violence or workplace discrimination, and prompts clients to seek Independent Legal Advice (ILA) before signing any Minutes of settlement. This protects both the client and the mediator from future disputes over process integrity.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We used to lose 3–4 clients a month because they called after hours and got no answer. Now, Answrr answers every call instantly—on weekends, holidays, even during court recesses. One client called at 11:30 PM after a heated argument with their spouse. The AI guided them through the difference between mediation and arbitration, confirmed they were eligible for free mediation through the court, and booked them a session with a certified family mediator within 20 minutes. They signed a settlement agreement just 11 days later. That’s the power of 24/7 intake with ADR-specific guidance.”

“I was skeptical about AI handling sensitive workplace mediation calls. But after testing Answrr with HRTO cases, I was impressed. The AI correctly identifies when a client is seeking mediation vs. arbitration, explains the 8-hour income-based fee structure in Ontario, and even reminds them to bring financial disclosure documents. One client who was struggling with a harassment complaint was guided through the process and resolved the matter in just 3 weeks—well under the HRTO’s 12-month average. The system even flags cases needing mediator screening for potential bias.”

“Before Answrr, our team spent hours chasing clients for Form 25 and financial disclosure. Now, the AI sends automated reminders 7 days before deadlines, confirms receipt, and even pre-fills intake forms. In one case, a client missed the 14-day deadline—until the AI sent a reminder at 6:00 AM on the final day. They submitted everything on time, and the case was mediated within 10 days. We’ve seen a 50% drop in missed deadlines and a 40% increase in settlement rates since implementation.”
