When Should Your Business Consider Mediation?

Share  | 

Despite the common belief, not all legal action is resolved in a courtroom setting. 

Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution that can be used in most non-criminal cases, including disputes involving contracts, leases, small businesses, employment, child custody, and divorce. Mediation affords privacy not available in litigation.

In a successful mediation, all interested parties work cooperatively toward a settlement or fair resolution of their dispute, with the help of a neutral mediator who facilitates the process.
