The Benefits of Mediation and Arbitration
Mediation and arbitration are alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods that offer significant advantages over traditional court proceedings. These processes are typically faster, more flexible, and less costly. Mediation is a voluntary and confidential process where a neutral third party—called a mediator—helps the parties negotiate a mutually agreeable solution. Arbitration, on the other hand, involves a neutral third party—an arbitrator—who listens to both sides of the dispute and makes a binding decision, similar to a judge in court.
Both mediation and arbitration provide parties with more control over the outcome, encourage collaboration, and help maintain relationships by avoiding the adversarial nature of traditional litigation.
