Services and Fees
Mediation is an opportunity to come to a solution — with the help of a mediator — that both sides agree upon. You can avoid court.
​
Mediation is a relatively informal process in which an independent and impartial neutral party (the Mediator) helps the parties involved in a dispute to negotiate a mutually acceptable and binding resolution. The Mediator facilitates the process by helping the parties identify the issues and address impediments to settlement and guiding the parties in their negotiations to find an acceptable solution. The Mediator does not decide the case, impose a solution, or assign blame. The Mediator does not give legal advice, but they should have a good understanding of workplace law in order to assist the parties in assessing their respective cases and evaluating a reasonable range for settlement.
