Mediation can be a confidential, speedy and informal method to resolve a dispute at far less expense than a formal lawsuit. The parties rely on a trained mediator to facilitate discussion and assist them and their counsel to reach a result satisfactory to all concerned. Mediation allows the interested parties to directly participate and control the negotiations to fashion practical and potentially creative solutions to legal issues.
