WHY MEDIATION?
Mediation is a well-recognized process for guiding litigants to a mutually-agreeable resolution. It is often the best opportunity for the parties to a dispute to take control of their destiny, avoid the uncertainties of trial, and eliminate further litigation time and expense.
Mediators do not decide a case, determine a “winner” or “loser,” or render any judgments. Instead, they act as neutrals to facilitate a reasonable and practical discussion between the opposing parties and their attorneys, explore creative solutions, and encourage a compromised solution.
SLS Group proudly offers parties involved in a dispute the chance to work with registered and experienced mediators for resolution of business/civil law or family law matters.
