To Mediate or not to Mediate?
Updated: Apr 26, 2023
Mediation involves bringing two parties together with the help of an independent mediator to help them reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Compared to going to court, mediation is often a more affordable and less time-consuming process.
Mediation encourages parties to speak to each other directly and come to a resolution that works for everyone involved. The mediator remains impartial and helps facilitate the conversation between the parties, providing guidance and support throughout the process.
It is recommended that parties have regular progress reviews with their mediator to discuss how things are going and any changes that need to be made. These meetings can help ensure that progress is being made and that everyone involved is comfortable with the process.

In addition to being cost-effective and efficient, mediation can also help preserve relationships and minimize the emotional toll of a legal dispute. By allowing parties to communicate openly and work together to find a solution, mediation can help build trust and understanding between the parties, leading to a more positive outcome for everyone involved.
