Why Mediation?

Almost all courts, both State and Federal, are now using mediation as a threshold requirement before obtaining a trial date or going to trial. This prerequisite reflects the importance and value of a process that has only been used for the last 15 or 20 years.

If the courts have recognized the significance of mediation, then why should such a valuable process not be used earlier before all the expenses of litigation begin? The answer is that more and more businesses and corporate attorneys and other professionals are turning to private, pre-litigation mediation to avoid the consequences of protracted litigation.

What are the benefits of early, private mediation?

Speed
Stress reduction
Setting your own schedule, as mediations can often occur after hours or on weekends
Greater creativity in tailoring the business solution to the problem
Continuing business relationships that might be destroyed in court
Greater control of the outcome
Economic benefits, including lower legal fees and quicker receipt of settlement funds
Avoiding the vagaries of long delays and changes in business markets
Often, conducting negotiations face-to-face in a less hostile forum than the court environment
Can still use counsel as consultants or advisors, either during the mediation or for final review of the negotiated settlement
Closure without further litigation by appeals or enforcement proceedings
