    MEDIATION

    Mediation is a smart, voluntary, and cost efficient method of resolving disputes. It focuses on relaxed communication between two or more parties, rather than a formal presentation of witnesses and evidence at trial. With the strict rules of litigation removed, parties are given an opportunity to more freely and openly discuss their grievances and resolve their differences.
