Mediation & Arbitration

Voluntary Alternative Dispute Resolution

Mediation is the negotiation to resolve differences conducted by a third, impartial party such as a mediator. Mediators assist parties in a dispute to discuss, negotiate, and agree upon their own customized terms of settlement.

Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process. Unlike court judges, mediators do not decide your case or impose forced settlements. The disputing parties remain in total control, playing an active role in forging solutions that work for everyone involved.

Benefits of Mediation

• Substantially lower cost compared to formal court litigation
• Faster resolution timelines without court backlogs
• Confidential and private settlement discussions
• Preservation of ongoing personal or business relationships
