5 Reasons Mediation is a Good Idea
- Mediation works as a bridge between parties that have issues they want to work out
and the legal system. A mediated agreement keeps people away from trials, saving
not only time also saving a great deal of money because you have much less need
for a lawyer.
- When people choose mediation over litigation they cut down on the emotional pain
often paired with the legal process known as "discovery".
- Mediators help balance the power between parties, holding a space for each person
to share their needs without being intimidated by the other person. Mediation empowers
people when their voice is heard.
- Even when people are not able to sit at the same table mediation offers a way for
problem solving to occur by meeting with parties seperately, if neccessary.
- Finding "common ground" is what happens when people are willing to consider a different
perspective. Mediation is not about winning: mediation is about finding a way to
get what you need.
