Mediation Works Better
Successful
More than 80% of all cases that enter mediation reach agreement
Consensual
You choose whether to agree or not and you are in absolute control of the outcome
Quicker
Even the most complex cases can settle within a couple of days, whereas the court process is notoriously slow and can roll on for months or years
Cheaper
It is hard to grasp in advance but the legal costs involved in a dispute which proceeds through the courts are usually higher that you would anticipate and the level of time and cost can be unpredictable as parties have to react to whatever the other side may bring into the equation-again you are reactive, not active
Confidential
You do not need to air sensitive personal family issues in open court
Positive
Mediation can keep a way open for a continued relationship, whether commercial or personal with those with whom you are in dispute
Informal
Mediation is informal. There are no judges, no wigs, no latin. No bewildering legalese to understand
