Mediation is a cost effective, efficient, and fast method to solve many disputes before they turn into complex and drawn out litigations with substantial legal fees for your clients. Often, the interests of both parties are overlooked in preliminary negotiations, and a skilled mediator can bring out real substantive conflicts regarding Discrimination issues such as sexual harassment, wrongful termination, hostile workplace, ADA & reasonable accommodations, and other related discrimination claims in such a way as to resolve them without further legal proceedings.

Some key benefits of mediation:
