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.
