Mediation is a process of dispute resolution that involves a trained third party who works with both sides of the dispute in an informal discussion, to help resolve the dispute. The mediation process is also non-binding; neither party is required to accept the mediator's proposed agreement. The parties to a mediation may or may not have an attorney present; attorneys are advisers and not participants in the mediation process. Mediation is used in many business disputes, including labour negotiations, business contracts, and employment disputes.

The process can solve many disputes in a short time; most mediation sessions are only one or two days long. Mediation is less expensively than litigation and it allows the parties to deal directly with each other. However, because the decision of the mediator is not binding, the parties must be committed to reaching an agreement. If one or more parties is not ready to agree, the mediation process is frustrating and a waste of time.

Success at mediation depends on the skill of the mediator, as well as the participants engaged in the mediation. At MCKOY LAW our trained mediators will help you through the mediation process.
