Mediation

Why Choose Mediation?


Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) that empowers parties to work together to resolve conflicts in a peaceful and amicable manner. Unlike litigation, mediation allows the disputing parties to maintain control over the outcome while preserving relationships and reducing stress.

Benefits of Mediation Over Litigation

  • Control: Parties maintain decision-making power over the resolution rather than leaving it to a judge or jury.

  • Cost-Effective: Mediation is typically less expensive than litigation, with fees often split between the parties.

  • Confidentiality: All discussions during mediation remain private and cannot be used in court, allowing open communication.

  • Time-Saving: Mediation is generally faster than litigation, avoiding lengthy court schedules.

  • Preserving Relationships: Mediation focuses on mutual understanding and resolution, reducing adversarial tensions.

When to Use Mediation


Mediation is highly effective in resolving:

  • Contract disputes

  • Workplace conflicts
