ABOUT MEDIATION

Mediation is a process in which a neutral third party assists the opposing parties to reach a voluntary, negotiated resolution in a conflict. Mediation gives the parties the opportunity to discuss the issues raised in the charge, clear up misunderstandings, determine the underlying interests or concerns, find areas of agreement and, ultimately, to incorporate those areas of agreements into resolutions. A mediator does not resolve the charge or impose a decision on the parties. Instead, the mediator helps the parties to agree on a mutually acceptable resolution.

ADVANTAGES OF MEDIATION

Mediation is an efficient process that saves time and money. Successful mediation avoids a time consuming investigation and achieves a prompt resolution of the charge. The majority of mediations will usually lasts for one to five sessions.

Mediation is fair. Mediators are neutral third parties who have no interest in the outcome. Their role is to help the parties resolve the charge. Parties have an equal say in the process and decide settlement terms... not the mediator.

Mediation is a confidential process. All parties sign an agreement of confidentiality.
