Mediation and Dispute Resolution

Mediation and dispute resolution are processes used to resolve disagreements outside of court. Mediation involves a neutral third party helping both sides communicate, identify issues, and negotiate a mutually acceptable solution. It’s often quicker and less costly than litigation, allowing parties to maintain control over the outcome. Other dispute resolution methods include arbitration, where a neutral arbitrator makes a binding decision. These approaches aim to settle conflicts efficiently, preserving relationships and reducing the stress and expense of formal legal proceedings. They are commonly used in various contexts, such as family, commercial, and employment disputes.
