what is mediation

Mediation is a process where a neutral third person helps two or more parties in a disagreement to communicate better and find a mutually acceptable solution. Instead of going to court, the mediator facilitates discussion, encourages understanding, and assists in resolving conflicts calmly and constructively. The goal is to reach an agreement that respects everyone's interests, promoting a faster, more private, and often less costly resolution compared to traditional legal processes. It’s a collaborative approach that emphasizes cooperation and voluntary participation.
