Why mediate a dispute?

In mediation, the dispute is resolved by the parties themselves, rather than an outside third party, such as a judge, jury or arbitrator.

In mediation, the dispute is resolved by mutual agreement between the parties, rather than being imposed upon the parties.

The mediation process can be used, not only to resolve the dispute, but to repair the relationship and prevent future conflicts.

Mediation, if conducted properly, can be less stressful for the parties than other forms of dispute resolution.

Mediation can resolve a dispute much more quickly and cost-effectively than can traditional lawsuits or arbitration.
