Orlando Mediation & Arbitration Services

What is mediation?

Mediation is often confused with arbitration. Arbitration is a process where a third party arbitrator is employed to decide the outcome for the parties, much like a judge or jury. Arbitration is either mandated by contract or, less often, Court ordered.

On the other hand, mediation is the most-frequently Court-ordered form of alternative dispute resolution (although it may also be required by the parties’ contract). A mediator is selected whose number one priority is to facilitate a mutually-acceptable (or sometimes, mutually-unacceptable) resolution of the dispute. The mediator has absolutely no authority or ability to make any decision or finding in the disputed matter – but only to assist the parties in finding a solution.
