Resolve Disputes.
Without the Courtroom.
Online mediation is faster, more affordable, and less adversarial than litigation. Litior makes it accessible from anywhere in India.
Whether you're a first-time user or a legal professional, Litior connects you with certified mediators to help you reach a resolution that works for everyone.
What is
Online Mediation?
Online mediation is a structured, confidential process where a neutral third party called a mediator helps two or more parties in a dispute reach a mutually acceptable agreement.
Unlike a judge or arbitrator, a mediator does not impose a decision. Instead, they facilitate dialogue, helping both sides understand each other's concerns and find common ground.
On Litior, this entire process happens digitally through secure video sessions, document sharing, and real-time communication. You never have to step into a courthouse.
Everything discussed stays between the parties and the mediator. Legally privileged and protected.
The mediator has no stake in the outcome. No bias, no agenda, no side to take.
Both parties must agree to participate. No one is compelled into the process.
You are not forced into any outcome. Any agreement you sign is legally enforceable.
Conducted through secure video and messaging from anywhere in India, at your convenience.
Why Choose Mediation
Over Litigation?
Courts in India are burdened with crores of pending cases. The average civil dispute can take years, sometimes decades, to reach a final verdict. Mediation offers a smarter path forward.

Is Mediation the Right Step
for Your Situation?
Mediation works best when both parties are open to dialogue and reaching a negotiated outcome. It may not be suitable for criminal matters, domestic violence, or where one party is acting in clear bad faith.

Questions people
ask us most.
Yes. The Mediation Act, 2023 formally recognises mediation as a legitimate dispute resolution mechanism in India. Mediated settlement agreements can be enforced as court decrees under the Act, giving them the same legal weight as a court order, provided they are properly executed.
No. Sessions are conducted via secure video calls, so both parties can participate from any location, whether they're in different cities or different countries.
Mediation is voluntary and non-binding unless a settlement is signed. If no agreement is reached, both parties retain all their legal rights and can pursue other remedies, including approaching a court.
Yes. Mediation sessions are fully confidential. Neither party can use statements made during mediation as evidence in any subsequent legal proceedings. Mediators are also bound by confidentiality obligations.
It depends on the complexity of the dispute. Simple matters can be resolved in one or two sessions. More complex disputes may take a few weeks. Either way, it is almost always faster than litigation.
Mediator fees vary by professional and are displayed clearly on their profiles. Litior charges a transparent platform fee for session management and documentation. There are no hidden charges.
Yes. Parties may choose to be accompanied by a legal representative. Many people also choose to consult a lawyer before or after sessions without bringing them directly into the mediation room.
