WHAT IS MEDIATION?
Mediation is a facilitated negotiation and communication process in which the goal is to resolve issues between disputing parties.
A professional mediator is a trained and certified neutral third-party who engages disputing parties in a non-adversarial solution-seeking communication process. By opening roadblocks to constructive communication, mediation can reduce conflict, clarify desired outcomes, and enable disputing parties to create a mutually acceptable agreement.
Often, disputing parties have their respective legal counsel present during mediation to advise on legal issues.
