Mediation

Mediation is a method of alternative dispute resolution (ADR).  It is a highly effective process used for resolving disputes can be deployed at any stage during the pendency of a matter.

Mediators are trained neutral third parties who assist the parties to the dispute in negotiating a workable resolution.  Although the mediator does the face-to-face negotiating, the parties themselves hold all the decision-making power – including whether to resolve the dispute, and on what terms.  The mediator does not make decisions about who or what is right or wrong, but rather, attempts to bring the parties together on a resolution which satisfies both considering the risks of not resolving the matter.  It is a fair, fast method for disposing of a matter.  Mediation can be effective before a case is filed, or at any time during litigation.
