Key benefits of mediation

• Cost and time savings: Mediation can be much faster and less expensive than going to court. If you are already in litigation, it will take months or even years off of resolution and save you significant legal fees.

• Confidentiality: All discussions in mediation are private and confidential, creating a safe space for open communication.

• Control over the outcome: The parties, not the mediator or a judge, decide the outcome. You are in charge and can take control of how the conflict impacts you.

• Preservation of relationships: By focusing on problem-solving rather than winning or losing, mediation may help repair and preserve relationships, especially in situations like workplace disputes where ongoing communication is necessary.

• Improved communication: A neutral third party mediator facilitates discussion, allowing each party to be heard and to understand the other's perspective - the goal is to reach effective solutions and resolution.

• Flexibility: The process is informal and flexible, allowing parties to address a wide range of issues in a way that works for them, not according to strict legal rules.
