Standard dispute resolution within the court system can be a long and drawn-out process that is costly to both parties and may be detrimental to their business endeavors. Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in which a neutral third party, called a mediator, helps parties in a dispute to reach a mutually agreed upon resolution. Mediation is voluntary and confidential, and the mediator does not make decisions for the parties or impose a settlement on them. Instead, the mediator facilitates communication and helps the parties identify their interests, explore options for resolution, and negotiate an agreement that is acceptable to both sides. Mediation is often faster and less expensive than going to court, and it can help parties preserve their relationships and avoid further conflict. Adv.
