Mediation for the disputes that matter most

Some disagreements are small and some are deeply contentious. Either way, litigation is expensive, slow and public. Mediation offers a confidential, structured way to reach an outcome both sides can accept.

Is your situation a good fit?

Mediation tends to work well when:

  • You’ll keep dealing with each otherCo-parents, siblings, business partners and neighbors all benefit from an outcome that preserves the relationship.
  • Privacy mattersMediation keeps finances, family history and business details out of the public court file.
  • The cost of fighting is out of proportionWhen legal fees threaten to outweigh what’s at stake, a negotiated outcome makes sense.
  • You want a say in the resultAgreements can include creative terms no court would order.
