What is Mediation?

Mediation is a voluntary process in which a neutral third party facilitates communication between people in dispute with the aim of helping them to reach a mutually acceptable agreement.

Mediation is an informal process that can be tailored to meet specific needs.

• You have an opportunity to address all the issues and resolve your dispute in a mutually satisfactory manner.
• You maintain control over the outcome of the dispute-no one makes decisions for you.
• You save time and money (especially when compared to litigation).
• You maintain privacy, and communications are confidential.
• You retain the right to withdraw from mediation at any time and to litigate.
• You can preserve and enhance current relationships while establishing clear guidelines for the future.
