Mediation

What is mediation?

Mediation is an alternate form of dispute resolution for those who would prefer to settle a case before, and instead of, going to trial. This procedure allows the parties to discuss their disputes with the assistance of a trained, impartial, third person(s) who assists them in reaching a settlement. 

What are the Benefits of Choosing to Mediate?

According to The Liberty Group, “settling disputes through mediation can save money, eases the court load, and more often the not, it leaves parties in a better state of mind.” 

Each party can be directly involved in the negotiations to reach an agreement in private, in an informal meeting or in a scheduled conference. Mediation allows the client and the opposing party to have more control over the outcome of the matter, and no settlement can be imposed, as happens in litigation or arbitration.
