An Alternative To Litigation
Mediation offers an efficient, cost-effective solution for resolving business conflicts. In the course of running a business, legal issues can arise with employees, customers, vendors, and business partners. For companies without dedicated human resources or legal departments, mediation can be an invaluable tool for resolving disputes in a timely manner.
At Duggan McHugh Law Corporation, we provide expert mediation services to businesses in Sacramento and throughout Northern California. As a private mediator, attorney Jennifer Duggan works closely with both parties to facilitate a mutually beneficial resolution.
The Mediation Process and Its Benefits
Mediation is a highly effective alternative to expensive, protracted litigation, particularly in cases of ownership disputes or employment law issues. During mediation, the mediator helps guide the parties through a constructive discussion, aiming to reach a workable agreement.
A successful mediation results in a signed agreement that resolves the dispute. Even if the mediation is only partially successful, it can significantly reduce the number of issues that progress to litigation. The parties involved also have the option to decide whether the agreement will be enforceable in court if one side fails to honor it.
Mediation is typically more affordable than retaining a lawyer for litigation. While attorneys can be involved and may accompany represented parties, mediation costs are generally shared equally between the parties.
