Mediation is an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) process that can occur at any time there is a difference of opinion that results in either a dispute or a delay in developing new opportunities that require the agreement of others.

The mediator’s role is to act as a neutral third-party facilitator helping stakeholders at the table arrive at a mutually satisfactory agreement through a process of “principled negotiation”. Negotiations that are based on the underlying interests of the parties enable durable agreements where all parties get what they need.
