Mediation is facilitated negotiation. It is a process by which a neutral third party, the mediator, assists individuals in reaching a mutually satisfactory resolution of a dispute. The goal of the process is for the individuals involved in the dispute to arrive at a mutually acceptable resolution, rather than for a disinterested person who knows little about the history of the dispute and the relationship between the individuals (i.e. a judge) to do so. The beauty of mediation is the empowerment of the individuals and the ability to vent and to be heard in a non-judgmental forum. When choosing mediation as an alternative to litigation, it is critical to select a mediator who is patient, compassionate, non-judgmental and experienced in the subject matter of the dispute. This way the mediator can carefully listen to the individuals, be empathetic to their situations and be able to generate several creative options for an acceptable resolution of the dispute. We at SerraWeiss are committed to the propriety of mediation as a meaningful alternative to the litigation process and as a legitimate forum for the resolution of disputes and are committed to empowering individuals to control their own destiny and, with our assistance, to ultimately reach a resolution acceptable to all.
