nationally accredited mediators and conciliators
Mediation is a voluntary and confidential process in which a neutral third party, known as a mediator, assists disputing parties in finding common ground and reaching a mutually beneficial agreement. Unlike a judge or an arbitrator, a mediator does not impose decisions but instead guides the participants towards a resolution that respects their unique interests and needs.
Mediation is a process designed to facilitate constructive dialogue and resolve conflicts in a peaceful and collaborative manner. It serves as an alternative to litigation, offering a range of benefits that make it an invaluable tool for individuals, businesses, and organizations seeking efficient and mutually satisfactory resolutions. Statistics show that about 85% of disputes are resolved successfully by mediation. At Dispute Resolutions, we provide comprehensive mediation services tailored to address various types of disputes.
Mediation fosters open communication and collaboration, allowing parties to preserve their relationships and find common ground. This is particularly crucial in disputes involving family matters, workplace conflicts, or business partnerships, where ongoing relationships are important or essential.
Mediation is more cost-effective than litigation, as it reduces the need for lengthy court proceedings and multiple attorney fees. It enables parties to save time, money, and emotional energy that would otherwise be spent on protracted legal battles.
Mediation empowers participants by giving them control over the outcome of their dispute. It promotes active participation and allows individuals to voice their concerns, interests, and creative solutions in a safe and structured environment.
Dispute resolution is a broad term that refers to any method used to settle a dispute or disagreement – including negotiation, conciliation, litigation, arbitration, and mediation – the goal is to find a solution that satisfies all parties involved and brings an end to the conflict.
Mediation is one specific approach within the broader framework of dispute resolution. It is a process that is characterized by the presence of a neutral mediator who facilitates discussions, promotes understanding, and guides parties towards a resolution. In contrast to other ongoing dispute resolution processes, mediation typically results in a final, mutually-agreed upon resolution in a single session.”
