Mediation and Conciliation: Resolving Disputes Amicably

Mediation and conciliation are alternative dispute resolution (ADR) processes designed to resolve disputes through dialogue and mutual agreement, avoiding the need for formal adjudication. Mediation involves a neutral third-party mediator who facilitates discussions, while conciliation allows the conciliator to suggest solutions for resolving the conflict. These methods are ideal for family, commercial, and employment disputes, focusing on reducing hostility and fostering collaboration.

ADR processes like mediation and conciliation are faster, cost-effective, and less adversarial than traditional litigation. They provide parties with the control to craft mutually beneficial resolutions while maintaining ongoing relationships. If desired, these processes can lead to legally binding agreements.
