The Power of Mediation
Resolving legal conflicts or disputes doesn’t have to be a lengthy, expensive, or hostile process that plays out in court. Mediation can be an effective alternative to litigation, offering a path to resolving legal conflicts with greater flexibility, privacy, and ownership of the process.
This is particularly true in family litigation, where mediation not only reduces time and stress but can also be more cost-effective. In 2023, a significant development in family law came into effect. Rule 17 (7.1) allows many family litigants to move directly to a settlement conference if they’ve attended mediation. This new rule can save your clients time, stress, and money by potentially expediting the resolution process. It’s an option that’s available regardless of whether agreements are reached through mediation, providing an alternative path toward settlement.
