Approach

Parties have an equal say during mediation and have a say in the final agreement. The mediator has no authority to impose a settlement without an agreement of the Parties. During mediation both sides will be able to exchange information, express opinions and expectations and propose their own solutions for reaching resolution. The mediator will facilitate this process by helping the parties communicate to each other clearly and appropriately.

Confidential

Mediations are confidential. Confidential information provided to the mediator by parties during the mediation process cannot be divulged by the mediator. Also, the parties’ settlement discussions cannot be used as evidence in any future court proceeding.

Save Money and Time

Litigation is expensive, time consuming, and emotionally draining. Many mediated settlements, on the other hand, are completed in one meeting, often saving considerable time and expense. More complicated matters may necessitate multiple sessions before an agreement is reached. Legal or other representation is permitted in all cases, but is not required.
