Mediation

For Conflicts and Disputes

Mediation allows all parties in conflict or dispute the chance to work together collaboratively to reach mutually agreeable resolutions. Mediation empowers participants to exercise and maintain control over the outcome reached by the parties and throughout the mediation process. The mediator is a neutral party responsible for promoting an atmosphere where reaching agreement is possible. During mediation, each participant has the opportunity to voice their concerns.
