Benefits of choosing mediation over litigation
1. Cost-Effective
Mediation is generally much cheaper than litigation. Court cases involve high legal fees, court costs, and other expenses, whereas mediation requires fewer formalities.
2. Faster Resolution
Litigation can take months or even years due to court schedules, appeals, and legal complexities. Mediation, on the other hand, is often resolved in a matter of days or weeks, allowing both parties to move forward quickly.
3. Confidentiality
Court proceedings are usually public records, whereas mediation is a private process. This confidentiality helps protect sensitive information and allows for open discussions without public scrutiny.
4. Greater Control Over the Outcome
In mediation, both parties have an active role in negotiating a mutually agreeable solution. In contrast, litigation places the decision-making power in the hands of a judge or jury, often leading to unpredictable results.
​
5. Flexibility in Solutions
Mediated agreements can be more creative and tailored to the specific needs of both parties. Courts, on the other hand, are limited to legal remedies, which may not always be the best resolution for both sides.
​
6. Higher Compliance Rate
Since mediated settlements are reached voluntarily, parties are more likely to comply with the agreement, unlike court-imposed judgments that may lead to further disputes or appeals.
7. Encourages Open Communication
Mediation fosters dialogue between the parties, improving understanding and potentially preventing future conflicts. This communication can be particularly beneficial in family and workplace disputes.
8. Avoids a Win-Lose Outcome
Unlike litigation, where one party often wins and the other loses, mediation promotes a "win-win" resolution, where both parties can walk away satisfied with the outcome.
