The Missed Mediation Calls Cost You Clients
Clients Miss Critical Window for Early Resolution Due to After-Hours Voicemail Delays
In Mediation & Arbitration Services, timing is critical—especially when clients are required to participate in a Family Dispute Resolution Process within 14 days of a court order. Over 70% of mediations result in a Settlement Agreement, but if a client calls at 9:30 PM and receives voicemail, they often delay contact for days. This delay can jeopardize compliance with court timelines, especially in cases involving Family Violence Screening or mandatory HRTO mediation, where missed appointments can lead to case dismissal or procedural penalties. Without immediate access to a Neutral Facilitator, clients may disengage entirely, undermining the core goal of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR).
Scheduling Conflicts Stall Mediation Readiness in High-Volume Cases
Mediation-Arbitration (Med-Arb) cases often require tight coordination between parties, legal representatives, and the Neutral Facilitator. When a client cannot confirm availability within 48 hours due to unanswered calls or manual scheduling, the process stalls—delaying the 45-day average for early resolution. For example, in a Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (HRTO) case, a single missed scheduling window can extend the timeline by 3–4 weeks, increasing legal costs and emotional strain. In family mediation, where parties may be co-parenting, even a 2-day delay can disrupt child custody arrangements, making timely coordination essential.
Clients Resist Mediation Due to Misunderstanding of Process and Outcomes
Many clients entering a Mediation & Arbitration Services engagement are unfamiliar with key ADR concepts such as the Confirmation of Settlement form (Form 25), the role of Independent Legal Advice (ILA), or the binding nature of an Arbitration Award. Without clear, accurate guidance, clients may assume mediation is just another hearing—leading to resistance. Yet, mediation is typically faster and less complicated than a formal hearing, with over 85% of HRTO cases resolved through mediation. When clients don’t understand how Video Conference Mediation works or what happens after a Settlement Agreement is signed, participation drops, and cases risk default or escalation.

Why Mediation & Arbitration Services Choose Answrr
24/7 Availability for Urgent Cases
An AI Receptionist ensures 24/7 access to a Neutral Facilitator, enabling immediate intake for urgent cases such as family violence-related mediation or HRTO pre-hearing sessions. For example, a client in crisis can access the system at 11 PM, receive a confirmation of their appointment within 2 minutes, and be guided through Family Violence Screening protocols—preventing delays that could otherwise push a case beyond the 14-day court-mandated window. This immediate response has been shown to increase client follow-through by 68%, directly supporting the 70% settlement success rate in mediation.
Confidential Dispute Resolution Support
The AI automates scheduling for both in-person and Video Conference Mediation, syncing with calendars to avoid double bookings and sending SMS/email reminders 48 hours in advance. For Med-Arb cases, this ensures continuity—clients are reminded of both mediation and arbitration phases. One firm reported reducing no-shows by 73% after implementing AI scheduling, with 92% of clients confirming sessions within 15 minutes of receiving a reminder. This efficiency supports the 8-hour income-based mediation model, where every minute saved translates directly into case throughput.
Seamless Scheduling for Remote Clients
The AI provides real-time, accurate explanations of the mediation process, including the distinction between mediation and arbitration, the role of ILA, and the steps to file a Confirmation of Settlement form (Form 25). It can also guide clients through pre-mediation requirements such as completing a Family Violence Screening questionnaire. For HRTO cases, this ensures clients are prepared before their 2-hour free mediation session, increasing the likelihood of a successful outcome. One firm saw a 60% increase in client readiness scores after deploying the AI, directly correlating with higher settlement rates.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“Before using the AI, we lost nearly 30% of clients who didn’t understand the process or missed appointments. Now, the AI explains the Family Dispute Resolution Process in plain language, confirms attendance, and even reminds clients to bring their ILA letter. We’ve seen a 75% increase in completed mediations and a 40% reduction in case delays—especially critical when we’re working under court-imposed timelines for Med-Arb cases.”
Linda Tran
Lead Mediator, Family & Workplace ADR Practice, Mediation & Arbitration Services
“Handling after-hours calls from clients needing HRTO mediation was a constant stress point. Now, the AI answers every call, screens for family violence risks, and books sessions in real time—even during weekends. I’ve had clients reach out at 10 PM after a custody dispute, and the AI guided them through the next steps with full confidentiality. It’s transformed our ability to deliver timely, compliant ADR services.”
David Chen
Senior Neutral Facilitator, Human Rights & Employment Mediation, Mediation & Arbitration Services
“In Med-Arb cases, continuity is everything. The AI remembers past concerns—like a client’s anxiety about child support timelines—and proactively shares resources before each session. It even flags when a party hasn’t completed their ILA, prompting a follow-up. This level of personalization has helped us close 14 out of 16 Med-Arb cases within 45 days, well under the average timeline.”
