THE POWER OF MEDIATION
Using a mediator as a confidential neutral third party to explore the interests of both sides is a tremendous tool for achieving a positive settlement of a disagreement. A successful mediation leaves the parties with a mutually agreed solution, enabling both sides to avoid the win-lose result of a court judgment or arbitral award.
International Business DIsputes
