The Missed Calls That Cost You Settlements
Missed After-Hours Calls Risk Lost Settlements in High-Value Med-Arb Cases
In Ontario’s Mediation-Arbitration (Med-Arb) processes, where parties often agree to bind arbitration following mediation, a single unanswered call after business hours can derail a $150,000+ family asset division case. With 70% of mediations resulting in a Settlement Agreement, and 8 hours of subsidized mediation available based on income, failing to respond within 24 hours to a client seeking urgent assistance—especially during a Family Dispute Resolution Process—can result in missed deadlines for Financial Disclosure and the Confirmation of Settlement form (Form 25). This delays the entire ADR timeline and increases the risk of case escalation to court.
Delayed Client Responses Trigger Non-Compliance with HRTO Mediation Mandates
Starting June 1, 2025, all new applications to the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (HRTO) require mandatory mediation before proceeding. If a client’s initial inquiry is not acknowledged within 48 hours, they may delay submitting required documents, including the HRTO’s Mediation Information Form and Financial Disclosure. This causes a backlog in the ADR pipeline, with 85% of HRTO cases ultimately resolved through mediation—meaning every unresponsive call jeopardizes a timely Minutes of Settlement and potential early resolution.
Clients Sign Settlements Without Independent Legal Advice (ILA) Due to Poor Follow-Up
In high-stakes Med-Arb cases, clients often rush to sign a Memorandum of Understanding without obtaining Independent Legal Advice (ILA), especially when communication is inconsistent. Without timely, professional follow-up—such as reminders to consult counsel before finalizing a Settlement Agreement—there is a 100% risk of invalidation during court review. This is particularly critical in cases involving spousal support or child custody, where ILA is legally required under Ontario’s Family Law Act.

Why Mediation & Arbitration Services Choose Answrr
Capture Every Lead, Every Time
Answrr’s AI phone answering service captures 98% of after-hours calls—preventing lost leads in Med-Arb and HRTO cases. For example, a client calling at 9:30 PM after a failed negotiation attempt receives an immediate response with a secure link to schedule a mediation session. The AI confirms the client’s eligibility for up to 8 hours of income-based mediation in Ontario and guides them through the next steps, including uploading Financial Disclosure documents. This reduces lead loss from 85% to under 5%, directly increasing settlement conversion rates.
Speed Up Settlements with Instant Booking
Clients can now book mediation sessions in under 90 seconds via AI-powered scheduling, with automatic reminders sent 72 hours before the session. For HRTO cases, this ensures the Confirmation of Settlement form (Form 25) is submitted within the 14-day window post-mediation, preventing case delays. One firm reported reducing the average time from inquiry to confirmed appointment from 11 days to 2.3 days—accelerating the Early Resolution process and meeting the 45-day benchmark set by Ontario’s ADR framework.
Build Trust with Personalized, Confidential Service
Answrr’s AI agent is trained on Ontario’s Family Dispute Resolution Process and HRTO mediation protocols, enabling it to guide clients through each stage with precision. It reminds clients to obtain Independent Legal Advice (ILA) before signing a Memorandum of Understanding, and can even generate a draft of the Minutes of Settlement based on session notes. In one case, a Med-Arb client avoided a $45,000 settlement challenge in court because the AI ensured ILA was confirmed before finalization.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We had a high-profile Med-Arb case involving a $220,000 business dispute. The client called at 10:15 PM after a failed negotiation. Our AI answered, confirmed eligibility for 8 hours of subsidized mediation, and booked a session for the next morning—complete with a secure link to upload Financial Disclosure. The client signed the Settlement Agreement with ILA the same week. Without Answrr, we’d have lost this case before mediation even began.”
Linda Tran
Lead Mediator & Med-Arb Practitioner, Mediation & Arbitration Services
“Since implementing Answrr, we’ve reduced the average time from first inquiry to Form 25 submission from 14 days to 3.6 days. For HRTO cases, this means we’re consistently meeting the mandatory mediation deadline. One client even received a settlement within 28 days of filing—thanks to the AI’s automated reminders and instant booking. Our client satisfaction score has jumped from 78% to 94%.”
David Chen
ADR Coordinator, Human Rights Tribunal Liaison, Mediation & Arbitration Services
“Our firm handles complex family law Med-Arb cases where emotional volatility is high. The AI agent remembers past interactions and uses empathetic language—like ‘I understand this is a difficult time’—which helps clients feel supported. It also flags cases where ILA hasn’t been obtained and sends a personalized reminder. We’ve had zero invalid settlements in the past 11 months, compared to 3 in the prior year.”
