<h2 class="p1"><span class="s1">There are no Losers in Mediation</span></h2>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">Mediation provides an impartial, non-binding assessment of your dispute in a private and confidential environment. Mediators don&rsquo;t judge or counsel, but simply find avenues to reconciliation between disputing parties through the skills and experience they possess as a trained mediator. Benefits of mediation include:</span></p>
<ul>
<li class="li2"><span class="s2"></span><span class="s1">Mediation is </span><span class="s3"><strong>fast</strong></span><span class="s1">, resolving disputes that could take months or years in the courts in days or weeks</span></li>
<li class="li2"><span class="s2"></span><span class="s1">Mediation is </span><span class="s3"><strong>private and confidential</strong></span><span class="s1">, whereas courts are public forums and information about your business and personal affairs become public knowledge</span></li>
<li class="li2"><span class="s2"></span><span class="s1">Mediation </span><span class="s3"><strong>costs less</strong></span><span class="s1"> than other forms of dispute resolution</span></li>
<li class="li4"><span class="s2"></span><span class="s1">Mediation can </span><span class="s3"><strong>maintain relationships and goodwill</strong></span><span class="s1">, by allowing parties to approach the dispute together and find a mutually agreeable outcome</span></li>
</ul>
<h3 class="p5"><span class="s1">Who Needs a Mediator?</span></h3>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">A well-trained mediator acts as a third ear, not a third voice; organizing, facilitating, navigating, and refereeing between conflicting parties. Our mediators are great at sensing and recognizing the real vs. perceived needs of the parties, finding the message behind the message, and guiding the conversation towards an amicable resolution. The main goal is to keep everyone focused on resolving the issues at hand in a facilitative and confidential environment free from threat or intimidation. </span></p>
