Everything You Need to Know About Mediation and Conflict Resolution

Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process where a neutral third party (the mediator) helps two or more parties in a dispute to reach a mutually agreeable solution. Unlike arbitration, where a third party makes a binding decision, or litigation, where a judge or jury decides the outcome, mediation empowers you to control your own resolution.

Mediation can be more cost-effective, faster, and less adversarial than traditional legal processes. It can also lead to more creative and satisfying solutions that preserve relationships. It creates a safe environment for all and gives the parties control over their own lives. It also fosters consensus building and conflict resolution skills for the present and future.

 

The mediator facilitates communication, helps parties identify their interests and needs, and assists them in finding common ground. The mediator does not take sides, impose solutions, or provide legal advice—they guide you toward your own resolution.

 

Yes, mediation is a confidential process, meaning that what is discussed during the session is not disclosed to others. This confidentiality creates a safe space for honest, productive conversations.

 

Agreements reached during mediation can be legally binding if they are put in writing and signed by all parties. Once formalized, these agreements can be submitted to the court for approval.
