Mediators · Arbitral bodies · Parties and lawyers
A room for each party, a room for everyone, and a deed signed at the end.
Mediators set up a folder for each party and one for joint material. Private sessions run as secure meetings, the deed is signed in the browser, and access ends when the matter does.
- Each party's folder
- Seen only by that party and the mediator.
- Joint folder
- Shared material everyone can read.
- Private sessions
- Secure meetings with group chat.
- Settlement
- The deed signed by one signatory per party.
Why mediation files leak
Mediation depends on each party trusting that what it tells the mediator stays with the mediator.

Questions
Can one party see another party's folder?
No. Each party's folder is shared only with that party and the mediator.
Are signatures on the deed certificate-based digital signatures?
No. A signature in DekkoCORE is a signature mark applied to the PDF, with the signing recorded against the file.
Can parties upload large evidence files?
Yes. DekkoCORE has no file size limit unless your tenancy sets one, so expert reports, video and data sets go up as they are.
Do parties need an account?
Yes. Each person is invited by name and signs in, so every view and upload is recorded against them.
What happens to access after settlement?
Remove it when the matter closes, or set an expiry date when you share. The audit log keeps the record.
