Introduction: In a world where legal disputes can often become lengthy, costly, and stressful, mediation stands out as a beacon of resolution and understanding. At Tehan George & Co, we understand the value of mediation as an effective tool for dispute resolution. This blog aims to shed light on how mediation works, its benefits, and why it might be the right choice for resolving your disputes.
What is Mediation? Mediation is a process where an impartial third party, known as a mediator, helps disputing parties to reach a mutually acceptable agreement. It’s a voluntary process that encourages open communication and negotiation, allowing parties to explore solutions collaboratively.
How Mediation Works:
Initial Meeting:Â All parties meet with the mediator to outline the issues at hand.
Identifying Interests:Â The mediator helps each party to communicate their needs and interests.
Exploring Options:Â Parties work together to explore potential solutions.
Negotiation:Â The mediator assists in negotiating an agreement that satisfies all parties.
Final Agreement: Once an agreement is reached, it’s often put into writing.
Benefits of Mediation:
Cost-Effective:Â Generally, mediation is less expensive than going to court.
Time-Saving: It’s usually a quicker process than traditional litigation.
Confidential:Â Unlike court proceedings, mediation is private.
Control:Â Parties have more control over the outcome, as opposed to a court decision.
Preserves Relationships:Â Mediation promotes understanding and communication, which can preserve personal or business relationships.

Business and commercial conflicts
Family disputes, including divorce and child custody
