Mediation is about resolving conflict between two parties in the most expeditious, cost-effective and private manner possible. Commonly used in family law applications such as divorce, mediation is a completely voluntary process undertaken by participants wishing to avert more expensive and time-consuming litigation. By relying on the experience of a skilled neutral mediator, the two parties work to find a resolution to their conflict - unlike arbitration or litigation, a solution is not imposed upon them. Instead, the mediator assists in facilitating a resolution in a forum permitting maximum client input in structuring the outcome. Though the mediator is not a judge, once a written agreement is reached it is binding on both parties and fully enforceable in a court of law.
In addition to mediation's cost effectiveness, many people appreciate the privacy that comes from working out their differences behind closed doors, instead of an open courtroom.
