Mediation
The mediation process in Texas allows the disputing parties, under the guidance of a neutral third party, to play an active role in determining the outcome of your case. Unlike alternative dispute resolution, where an arbitrator listens to both sides in a disputed legal matter and issues a binding decision, mediation involves negotiation between the parties to resolve an issue. An impartial individual, the mediator, manages communication and promotes reconciliation, making a mutually agreeable resolution more likely. If you’re interested in learning more about whether mediation works for you, contact Carpenter & Associates today.
The mediation process:
Mediation allows disputing parties to come together to negotiate a resolution. While a judge or jury issues a ruling at the end of litigation, mediation leaves the outcome in the hands of the parties themselves. The mediator serves as an independent guide, encouraging the other parties to communicate clearly and productively with one another. However, the mediator does not influence the resolution in any way; rather, they facilitate the discussions necessary to reach an agreement. Once the parties arrive at an agreement, they commit it to writing and sign it.
Mediation is not mandatory in Texas, but judges may require disputing parties in a case to attempt mediation before proceeding with a trial.
The benefits of Mediation:
There are several benefits to mediation, especially when the parties approach the process with an open mind and a willingness to negotiate. In general, mediation takes much less time to conclude, which also keeps costs down. Additionally, the mediation process is entirely private and confidential; the law requires that the mediator and both parties keep these proceedings and their content confidential. Most importantly, mediation invites active participation, allowing the parties to feel empowered and satisfied with the eventual outcome.
