Resolving disputes with mediation
Mediation is a faster way to resolve disputes. Studies show that it can lead to a resolution in 75% less time than litigation. Both parties are motivated to reach an agreement and have control over the timeline. Avoid the lengthy court process and consider mediation for a quicker resolution.
Cost-effective resolution
Mediation is generally more cost-effective than litigation. It typically requires less time and resources, and often avoids the need for a trial. This can significantly reduce costs for both parties.
Cooperative mediation
Mediation helps parties reach a mutually beneficial resolution rather than one party winning and the other losing. This is because the legal system often pits parties against each other, but mediation encourages cooperation for the best outcome for everyone.
