Mediation is a structured, interactive process where an impartial third party (mediator) neutrally assists disputing parties in resolving conflict through the use of specialized communication and negotiation techniques.
Mediation can save time, court cost and it gives the conflicting parties a say in how their dispute is settled. Mediation is confidential, whereas court cases are handled in an open forum.
Mediation can provide a neutral and protected environment to help the parties explore and understand their interests, needs, risks, and options, thereby working out an agreement that suits both participants in the conflict.
