Mediation is the process by which a trained neutral person, called a mediator, facilitates the resolution of a dispute. Mediation is non-adversarial, with the objective of helping the parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement.

Mediation can be used to resolve any dispute. There are many advantages to using mediation to resolve disputes rather than litigation in court during which the parties become adversaries. Mediated agreements are binding on the parties and enforceable in court.
