CIVIL DISPUTE MEDIATION

Civil Disputes Mediation is a diplomatic way for two disagreeing parties to come to a resolution that is fair. Basically, both parties compromise and settle for an equal solution.

Civil mediation is a valuable tool for resolving all kinds of disputes that can be the subject of litigation, including business disputes, employment disputes, intellectual property disputes, construction disputes, medical malpractice disputes, personal injury disputes, probate disputes and public policy disputes. Mediation saves money and time and enables the parties to preserve their relationship when the relationship is important as, for example, it might be for businesses that are in conflict. Mediation also allows the parties to control the outcome and the risk and to design their own solutions, including solutions that a court may not be able to produce. An effective mediator can facilitate the discussions and help the parties focus on their interests and on options to meet all of the interests well enough to create an agreement.
