Can you explain mediation?

Mediation is a voluntary process where a neutral third party helps the disputing parties communicate and negotiate a resolution. It's often less formal and can be quicker than litigation.

What about arbitration?

Arbitration involves a neutral third party who listens to both sides and makes a binding decision. It's more formal than mediation but generally faster and less expensive than litigation.

Which method is the most effective?

The effectiveness of a method depends on the specific situation and the parties involved. Mediation is often preferred for its collaborative approach, while arbitration is chosen for its binding nature.
