Understanding ADR

What is Mediation?

Mediation is a structured, confidential process in which a neutral third party — the mediator — helps disputing parties communicate, negotiate, and reach a mutually acceptable agreement.

Unlike a judge or arbitrator, a mediator does not impose a decision. The parties remain in control of the outcome. Mediation is voluntary, private, and often far less costly and time-consuming than courtroom litigation.

For businesses, mediation offers a practical path to resolution that preserves working relationships and keeps sensitive matters out of the public record.

Confidential

Everything discussed in mediation stays private. No public court record, no disclosure of sensitive business information.

Cost-Effective

Mediation typically costs a fraction of litigation. Less time in proceedings means lower legal fees for all parties.

Faster Resolution

Cases that could take years in court are often resolved in a single session or a short series of meetings.

Neutral Ground

Brigitte serves as a neutral facilitator — no advocate for either side, with no vested interest in the outcome.
