Understanding Mediation Services

Mediation is a process in which a neutral party, also known as the mediator, helps to resolve a dispute between several parties. Essentially, the objective of mediation is to reach a win-win agreement that is mutually accepted. Due to the fact that mediation often produces favorable results for the parties involved, such cases are usually resolved rather quickly. This reduces the expenses that might be required in litigation.

Mediation is a preferred method of dispute resolution because research has shown that more than 65% of disputes submitted to mediation can be resolved without any further legal proceedings. Many people also turn to mediation because it helps maintain confidentiality and the proceedings will not be put on record unlike court cases.

How can I request for mediation?

What is the difference between mediation and arbitration?

Although these two legal proceedings often have the same goal of reaching a just resolution, there are some major differences between the two. The key difference is that in arbitration, the arbitrator reviews evidence and forms a decision. However, in mediation, there is a negotiation that is facilitated by a neutral mediator. It is important to note that for mediation, the parties cannot reach a resolution unless they all agree.

What happens if mediation is unsuccessful?

Rest assured that even if a mediation process is unsuccessful, there are usually further negotiations. This means that the mediators would follow up on your case if a settlement cannot be reached. Therefore, it is important that you have an attorney who can contact the other party or the mediator so that discussions can continue.
