Mediation depends on two things most meeting rooms can't give you: a neutral setting where both parties feel equal, and a second private room where each side can speak freely with counsel.
Most mediators improvise. A boardroom borrowed from one party's law firm, which is never quite neutral. A hotel meeting room with thin walls. A single rented room and a hallway for caucus.
Business Lounge is a mediation room rental in Oakville built around privacy. Each suite is booked by one client at a time, soundproofed, and has its own separate private room, so joint sessions and caucuses happen under one roof without anyone being overheard.
Suite 207 seats up to 14 people around a formal boardroom table in about 950 square feet, with a separate soundproofed breakout room. Use the main table for the joint session and the breakout room for private caucus. Book Suite 207 online.
Suite 206 seats up to 6 and includes a private two-person room. It suits smaller family or workplace mediations, or works as a dedicated room for one party. Book Suite 206 online.
For multi-party or high-conflict files, book both suites. Each party gets its own suite for the day and the mediator moves between them for shuttle mediation, so the parties never share a waiting area. Check availability for both suites, or see them on our lounges page.
Family mediators who need a calm, non-adversarial setting, and separate rooms when parties shouldn't sit together.
Civil and commercial mediators running full-day sessions, settlement conferences and shuttle mediation between counsel.
Lawyers and paralegals without a local office who need a professional room for client consultations, examinations or signings, by the day instead of a full private office lease.
Workplace and HR investigators conducting interviews and facilitated conversations away from the employer's premises. For group sessions, see our meeting and training rooms.
Arbitrators hearing smaller matters that need a formal table, a screen for documents and a quiet room to deliberate.
Mediations run long, so the essentials are included in the day rate with no add-on fees.
Screens and video conferencing. Suite 207 has two touchscreens with built-in cameras that work with any conferencing app, for hybrid sessions where a party or counsel joins remotely. Suite 206 has Logitech conferencing on a 65" screen.
Whiteboards for mapping issues and settlement options in real time.
Coffee, cold drinks and snacks stocked all day, so nobody has to leave mid-session.
Free parking right outside the building, and a quiet arrival with no shared reception or walk-ins.
Open seven days a week. Weekdays 8am to 7pm and weekends 9am to 5pm, for sessions that run late or need a Saturday.

...One thing I really appreciated was the privacy
