About Mediation
Mediation is a process to reach a solution. It is an alternative to litigation. It is available to resolve disputes in such diverse areas as banking, finance and commerce, business and family relationships therein.
Mediation costs less and is faster than a court proceeding. Mediation is private and details are not available to the public.
It can produce an acceptable solution to a dispute that lets both parties win and come away with respect. It is a first step and if an agreement cannot be achieved the parties can take other action like arbitration or legal proceedings.
Our philosophy is that most conflicts result from people getting set in their positions and then lacking an ability to hear the other party or see both sides of the disagreement. By having independent conversations we can gain clarity on everyone’s positions in a safe environment and gain an overall understanding of the issues and then allowing us to seek a win-win compromise.
“Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it.”
— Ghandi
