Why Mediate?

Mediation is an effective and encouraged method of resolving civil disputes before resorting to formal litigation. It allows all parties involved to sit down with a neutral third party (the mediator) and explore potential resolutions in a controlled, non-confrontational environment. Benefits of mediation include:

●      Cost Savings: Avoiding the high costs of prolonged court proceedings.

●      Faster Resolution: Mediation often leads to quicker outcomes compared to litigation.

●      Control Over Outcomes: Parties have more input and control over the resolution.

●      Preserving Relationships: Mediation helps maintain business or personal relationships that could be damaged by litigation.
