Life brings conflicts, but it also presents choices for how to resolve them. Bates Law Firm, PLLC in Wadesboro, NC, offers mediation as an effective way to end legal disputes. In matters such as business disagreements, divorce, and child custody battles, lawyers often recommend hiring a mediator as an alternative to litigating hotly contested issues.

Along with avoiding the courtroom, mediation offers a variety of benefits. Here are three reasons you should hire a mediator:

  • Affordability: Hiring a mediator — a neutral third party — will help you save money. Each party will share the cost of a mediator equally, which makes it less expensive than each side paying their own attorney. Even when each party has legal representation, costs for mediation are much lower than preparing for and trying a court case.   
  • Mediation Wadesboro NCCreativity: Mediation allows more freedom to find innovative solutions to conflicts than courts typically exercise. A mediator can encourage outside-the-box thinking to achieve practical solutions for instances like dividing assets in a divorce or devising a plan to settle a business conflict.  
  • Confidentiality: Mediation sessions are private and the parties can agree to keep settlement terms confidential. If a court case is pending, parties can dismiss it or ask the court to seal the record of the mediated agreement. In litigation, most court documents, hearings, and trials are matters of public record.
