What is mediation and how does it work?

Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process where an impartial mediator helps disputing parties reach a mutually acceptable resolution. The mediator facilitates communication, identifies key issues, and assists in negotiating a solution, but does not impose a decision. Mediation is collaborative, allowing parties to maintain control over the outcome

Why choose mediation over litigation?

Mediation offers several advantages over litigation, including:

1. Cost-effective: Generally less expensive than litigation.

2. Faster resolution: Mediation can resolve disputes in a fraction of the time it takes in court.

3. Confidentiality: Unlike court cases, mediation is private, keeping sensitive business matters out of the public eye.

4. Preserves relationships: Focused on collaboration, mediation helps maintain or restore professional relationships
