Business Mediation

The current, explosive growth of mediation is due to an inefficient legal system that is plagued by:

• High Cost of Litigation – mostly in attorney’s fees
• Time Delays – sometimes, years
• Uncertainty – armed with even the best facts and arguments, there’s a chance of losing
• Adverse Nature of Litigation – there’s always a loser
• Court Congestion – too many cases, too little time

Compare with Mediation

• Quick and Efficient – most disputes settled in just a few hours
• No Court or Attorney Delays – settlement is entirely based on the collaborative effort of the parties
• Certainty – upon a likely resolution of the issues, we will draft an agreement that will stand up in any court of law
• Confidential – the mediator cannot testify for or against you. What is said and what happens in mediation cannot be used later in court or arbitration.
• Voluntary – leave at any time, for any reason, or no reason
