Mediation and Arbitration Association

The Mediation and Arbitration Association is an organization that helps resolve disputes outside courts. Mediation involves a neutral third party facilitating communication between conflicting parties to reach a mutual agreement. Arbitration is a process where a neutral arbitrator listens to both sides and makes a binding decision to resolve the dispute. The association provides trained professionals to assist in these processes, offering a confidential and often quicker alternative to traditional litigation, and helping parties find fair resolutions efficiently.
