Our Process

How Mediation & Arbitration Work

Mediation is a straightforward process designed to help parties resolve disputes efficiently, professionally, and with minimal disruption. Mediation involves a conference under the guidance of an experienced neutral mediator. The mediator acts as a diplomat and discussion leader, keeping the negotiation process on track and productive.

Arbitration is an informal process where a neutral arbitrator hears evidence and legal arguments outside of court and makes a decision on the outcome of the dispute.
