Mediation

Mediation is a process where a neutral third party helps people or groups in conflict to communicate and work towards a resolution. The mediator facilitates discussions, ensuring everyone has a chance to express their views, and helps identify common ground and possible solutions. Unlike a judge, the mediator does not make decisions for the parties but guides them to reach a mutually acceptable agreement. This approach can lead to a more collaborative and satisfying outcome, often preserving relationships and avoiding the costs and stresses of litigation.
