Most
business disputes, whether they are within the business or business-client
or business-business, can be resolved in mediation - faster, cheaper
and in a constructive way.
85-90%
of disputes are mediated successfully! The advantages of business
mediation over litigation in cost, time and aggravation are immeasurable.
The
parties in the dispute wish to resolve their differences.
If
there isn't an enormous disparity in power - wealth
- influence - education - between the sides.
When
the parties wish to determine the outcome of the dispute
themselves, rather than relinquish control to lawyers
and a judge.
When
the cost of litigation is likely to be very high compared
to what either side can recover or save through litigation.
When
the parties feel they will have a hard time dealing
with the tension and anxiety associated with a legal
fight.
A
personal / working relationship exists, that the sides would
like to preserve or reestablish, as they resolve their dispute.
If time is a factor and both sides seek quick resolution -
within days/weeks, rather than months or years.
When
confidentiality / privacy are important concerns for at least
one party: the issues are sensitive or secret, and one or
more party's reputation can be damaged by public exposure.
When
the chances of winning in court are uncertain at best.
