Why Mediation?
|
|
|
|
|
It works. Research shows that about 80% of mediations achieve a settlement on the day. More settle shortly after.
|
|
It's cheap - compared to the costs of litigation. Because of the speed the costs are relatively small and fixed.
|
|
It's confidential-nothing that is said can be used in subsequent court proceedings if settlement is not reached.
|
|
It's not binding-there is no commitment to settle until a written contract is signed by both parties.
|
|
It's flexible-it is possible to obtain remedies not achievable in court.
|
|
Its easy to arrange. Most mediations take only 1 day and require short preparation.
|
|
The parties have the chance to have "their day in court" by personally addressing their opponents.
The process is client driven. |
