Mediator Style & Process Preferences

Mediation is a forum for parties to resolve their dispute with a minimum of time and money expended, in a less formal setting than arbitration or court. It allows all sides to a dispute to be heard and to explain their view of the matter to the opposing party directly, sometimes for the first time. Mediator style can be facilitative, evaluative or a combination as required by the particular case and parties. Resolution is often achieved through the ability of the decision makers to be informed, both of the facts and positions and also of the future process if the case is escalated beyond mediation.
