Mediation is a unique conflict resolution process with numerous benefits:
 

• Mediation is often quicker and more cost-effective than other forms of resolution.
   
• Mediation gives the parties control over the eventual agreement
   
• The strength of disputants reaching their own agreement is that it is more likely to
  succeed than imposed solutions.
   
• Mediation can take place at any stage of the dispute including prior to initiating court proceedings and helps avoid the need to go to court.
   
• Mediation is carried out on a “without prejudice” basis. That means it cannot be used in any further legal proceedings
   
• Mediation focuses on positive agreements and how to achieve better working relationships.
   
• Mediation helps to reduce tension, anger and misunderstanding between disputing parties.
