What Is Mediation?
Mediation is an alternative to litigation for resolving disputes. It is a process where the parties select a "neutral" to aid in the settlement discussions with the goal of having the parties negotiate a resolution of the dispute.
The process is less formal than either arbitration. In mediation the concerns of each side are clearly heard, allowing the parties to generate their own solution to the dispute through a productive dialog lead by the mediator.
Mediation is also less expensive, less timely, less rigid, and less adversary than litigation. It more often than not results in the settlement of the dispute on terms acceptable to all parties.
Mediation is also completely confidential, making it more suitable than either arbitration or litigation (public record) for many disputes.
