| Personal Injury Cases |

MEDIATION AND YOUR
BUSINESS
Employment relationships, ongoing business
relationships with trading partners or competitors, family business relationships, or even
inter-company insurance relationships may all improve as a result of the collaborative
nature of the mediation process. |
| Too
often conflict leads to litigation. The result? Legal costs that spiral out of control,
embittered participants and dissatisfaction with a court-enforced solution. In contrast,
"alternate dispute resolution" avoids the legal costs of litigation while
providing creative, informal solutions that are acceptable to all the participants. |

Mediation lets parties
keep sensitive matters confined to the bargaining table -- not trumpeted abroad. Plus, the
confidentiality of the process, and the confidentiality of caucus sessions (where each
party may meet privately with the mediator), encourages the parties to explore the
contours of their dispute, their strengths and weaknesses, their interests and their
options for resolving the dispute -- with a candor and depth -- that could never emerge in
a court context. Communications skills and insights learned through the
mediation process last well beyond the resolution of a single dispute. For
