ADR Systems

Mediation

When more than 91% of our mediated cases are settled, we know we've done our job.

Mediation is a non-binding dispute resolution process, in which a neutral person facilitates negotiations between parties to help them resolve their dispute. The parties select the mediator and agree upon the ground rules for the mediation. The process is usually voluntary and the parties control the outcome. When the parties reach a settlement of their dispute, it is documented in a settlement agreement that is enforceable in court.

Mediation can also be a binding process. In binding mediation, if parties are unable to reach agreement through mediation, the neutral will make a decision to resolve any outstanding issues.

Our neutrals conduct mediations in a variety of settings and locations. In addition to in-person mediation, we also conduct remote dispute resolution through secure videoconferencing, telephonic and teleconferencing sessions. To learn more about remote dispute resolution, click here. Neutrals from ADR Systems will also travel to other locations throughout the country for mediations.

To provide you with an easier way to explain mediation to your clients, ADR Systems has created Mediation: What to Expect.  To view a digital version of our new brochure, please click here.  To request a hard copy, click here.

For your convenience, ADR Systems has created easy to use and streamlined Model Clause Language for contracts. All employment mediations at ADR Systems are subject to our Due Process Policy.

Our mediator, Judge Hogan, was outstanding.  I was impressed with his wisdom and demeanor. Everyone was extremely professional, making counsel and clients feel comfortable.  I will use ADR Systems in the future.  Thanks for making an out-of-state lawyer feel at home!
