-
Mediation is a collaborative process where a neutral mediator facilitates communication between parties to reach a voluntary, mutually beneficial resolution.
-
Arbitration is a more structured process where a neutral arbitrator hears arguments and makes a binding or non-binding decision, depending on the parties’ agreement.
Both approaches allow parties to resolve disputes more quickly, privately, and affordably than in a traditional trial.
