What are the benefits of commercial meditation?
Commercial mediation offers several benefits including cost savings, relationship preservation, confidentiality and greater control over the outcome. Specifically, mediation has the following benefits:
Saves time and money compared to prolonged litigation. Resolutions are reached more quickly and the parties can get back to business.
Allows for flexible, creative solutions not limited to court judgments. Parties control the outcome.
Maintains confidentiality as the process is private and not part of public court records. Sensitive issues that the parties do not want disclosed are not.
Offers greater opportunity to preserve crucial business relationships as parties work together to find common ground and reach mutually beneficial relationships.
Can what I discuss in mediation come back to hurt me in a future court case?
The mediation process is generally confidential. That means mediators cannot be called to testify and any documents or admissions made in mediation are inadmissible as evidence. You can engage openly in mediation without worrying it will hurt your legal position later.
