Mediation
Mediation is a very effective tool for resolving disputes between parties who will have a continuing relationship with each other after the dispute is resolved. For example, there may be continuing relationships between family members, business partners, neighbors or employers and employees.
Mediation is usually less expensive than litigation or even Collaborative Law because there may be only one mediator required to help the parties settle the dispute. It also makes it possible for the parties to resolve their dispute in private, as opposed to doing so in a court room that is open to the general public. A skilled mediator can help the parties to a dispute resolve their differences in a small fraction of the time that it would take to reach a result through court proceedings.
In mediation, the task of the mediator is not to solve the dispute for the parties, but to help the parties resolve the dispute themselves.
