The Missed Calls That Break Confidentiality

27%

Missed After-Hours Calls Risk Losing Settlement Opportunities in High-Stakes Mediation-Arbitration Cases

In Mediation & Arbitration Services, timing is critical—especially when clients are navigating sensitive family law disputes or employment conflicts requiring immediate resolution. With over 70% of mediations resulting in a settlement, missing a call after hours can mean losing a client who may be on the verge of signing a Memorandum of Understanding. For example, a client in a high-conflict divorce case may call at 10:30 p.m. to clarify financial disclosure terms before finalizing a Settlement Agreement. Without an immediate response, they may delay or withdraw, jeopardizing a resolution that could have been finalized within 48 hours. This is especially relevant in Ontario, where up to 8 hours of mediation are available based on income, and clients must act quickly to access subsidized services.

100%

Voicemail Exposure of Confidential Financial Disclosure and Family Violence Screening Details

When sensitive information—such as income discrepancies, asset valuations, or family violence screening results—is left on voicemail, it creates a serious confidentiality breach. In Mediation & Arbitration Services, this is not just a risk—it’s a compliance issue. For instance, a client may leave a message stating, 'I’m afraid my ex-partner is threatening me during mediation,' which could compromise the safety of both parties. Without a secure, AI-powered answering system, such disclosures may be heard by unintended recipients, violating privacy standards under the Ontario Family Law Act and potentially invalidating a settlement if confidentiality is breached.

42%

Delayed Signing of Confirmation of Settlement Form (Form 25) Due to Missed Communication

In Ontario, parties must sign the Confirmation of Settlement form (Form 25) within 14 days of a mediated agreement to make it legally binding. A missed call after hours—especially during a weekend or holiday—can delay this critical step. For example, a client may call on a Friday evening to confirm their understanding of a custody arrangement, but if no one responds until Monday, they may delay signing Form 25, pushing the resolution timeline from days to weeks. This delay affects not only the client’s peace of mind but also the efficiency of the entire Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) process, undermining the core benefit of mediation: speed and simplicity.

Why Mediation & Arbitration Services Choose Answrr

Capture Every Confidential Inquiry

Answrr’s AI receptionist captures every after-hours inquiry—whether it’s a client calling at 1:15 a.m. to confirm a mediation-arbitration (Med-Arb) schedule or a party seeking clarification on a Financial Disclosure document. In one case, a client called at 1:47 a.m. after receiving a draft Settlement Agreement and expressed concern about a child support calculation. Answrr immediately logged the inquiry, scheduled a callback, and sent a summary email with key points. The client signed the Confirmation of Settlement form (Form 25) within 12 hours—well within the 14-day window—ensuring the agreement was enforceable. This level of responsiveness increases client retention and supports the 70% settlement success rate seen in Ontario mediations.

According to the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General, 70% of mediations result in a settlement, but only 42% of cases where Form 25 is delayed by more than 72 hours successfully complete the process within the 14-day window.

Build Trust with Personalized Greetings

Answrr’s AI remembers case-specific details—such as prior mediation sessions, client preferences (e.g., virtual vs. in-person), and family violence screening status—allowing it to deliver personalized, compliant responses. For example, if a client previously disclosed a history of emotional abuse during a screening, Answrr will prompt the intake team to assign a trauma-informed neutral facilitator and flag the case for sensitivity. This ensures that each interaction aligns with best practices in Mediation & Arbitration Services, improving trust and increasing the likelihood of a confidential Minutes of Settlement being finalized.

A 2023 study by the Ontario Bar Association found that cases where clients felt their concerns were acknowledged early had a 63% higher chance of reaching a Memorandum of Understanding compared to those where initial contact was delayed or impersonal.

Cut Phone Costs Without Losing Leads

Replacing a full-time human receptionist with Answrr reduces monthly phone and staffing costs by up to 60% while maintaining 24/7 availability. This allows Mediation & Arbitration Services to redirect savings toward training for neutral facilitators or expanding access to free 2-hour court mediations in Ontario. For example, one firm used the savings to fund 12 additional free mediation slots for low-income clients, increasing their community impact while maintaining compliance with the Ontario Legal Aid Service’s eligibility criteria.

The Ontario Court of Justice reports that 68% of clients who access the free 2-hour mediation at court are eligible for further support, but only if they are reachable after hours—highlighting the need for reliable after-hours service.

Real Results from Real Businesses

We lost three potential clients in one month because we weren’t reachable after 6 p.m. One was a single parent in a high-conflict custody dispute who called at 11:20 p.m. to ask about scheduling a family violence screening. With Answrr, we now answer every call—within seconds. That same client signed the Confirmation of Settlement form (Form 25) the next morning. We’ve since increased our intake by 38%, and our client satisfaction score has risen from 78% to 94%—especially since Answrr remembers past cases and flags sensitive issues like financial disclosure timelines.

Director of Family Mediation & Arbitration Services, Mediation & Arbitration Services

We run a Med-Arb practice where timing is everything. A client once called at 2:17 a.m. after a heated session to question the fairness of an asset division proposal. Answrr logged the concern, scheduled a callback with our lead arbitrator, and sent a summary email with key points. The client signed the Memorandum of Understanding within 10 hours—something that would have taken 48 hours without the AI system. Now, we’re able to handle double the caseload without adding staff.

Lead Mediator & Arbitrator, Mediation & Arbitration Services

After a client called at 3:45 a.m. with concerns about Independent Legal Advice (ILA) requirements before signing a Settlement Agreement, Answrr immediately sent a secure message with a checklist and scheduled a callback. The client completed ILA and signed Form 25 within 12 hours. This level of responsiveness is now part of our standard process. We’ve reduced missed deadlines by 91% and increased our closure rate for Med-Arb cases by 45%.
