HOW BUSINESS MEDIATION BENEFITS YOU:
MEDIATION IS PRIVATE.
Most businesses prefer to keep internal matters private. Mediation allows companies in dispute to keep the confidence of their customers while resolving differences in the business arena privately. On the other hand Law Suits become public information once they are filed.
MEDIATION PROVIDES CERTAINTY.
Litigation brings with it many uncertainties that affect your business. With Litigation you will spend considerable time and money for an uncertain outcome. With a lower cost but high quality mediation you can help control the outcome.
MEDIATION PRESERVES BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS.
Business relationships are often irretrievably damaged in a law suit even when parties settle. If this is a family business or partnership that in some way needs to continue after the dispute is resolved, Mediation accomplishes this because both parties are a part of the ultimate solution.
MEDIATION REDUCES DISRUPTION TO THE BUSINESS.
Litigation is very disruptive to companies. It takes time and energy away from the day to day operations and focus of the business owners. Mediation is a session based process where the parties control the time, costs and ultimate outcome with little to no disruption to the business at hand.
MEDIATION ENCOURAGES SOLUTIONS.
If parties can start mediation early in the conflict, they can avoid spending time and money that only serve to make parties more determined to win – sometimes at all costs and to miss the chance to explore intelligent and responsible solutions to their disputes that they can live with.
IN MEDIATION, THE PARTIES CONTROL THE OUTCOME.
As mediator, we do not render a decision and have no power to force the parties to settle their claims. Rather than determining who is right and who is wrong, our job is to understand the respective parties’ positions and see where they have common ground and the potential for compromise. This helps all concerned to focus on interests and solutions rather than adversarial positions and legal arguments.
Whether you have a family to partnership dispute, employment dispute, a contract disagreement, a construction problem, an intellectual property concern, or any other business related dispute we can help get your life back under control and move forward to a better future.
