Mediation – Jay D. Enloe

Mediation provides an opportunity for parties to try to reach an agreed resolution without further expense—economically and emotionally—associated with prolonged litigation. Mediation provides a way for parties to analyze and understand the risks of proceeding with litigation, so as to help the parties see the value in reaching a common understanding and putting the matter behind them.

Parties at times view mediation as unnecessary, as they feel they should be able to settle a claim on their own. If that were always the case, of course, mediation would not exist as a method of alternative dispute resolution. There are occasions when, for one reason or another, a settlement agreement has not been reached and seems unlikely to be reached without the assistance of an experienced mediator. An experienced mediator can help parties envision likely trial or arbitration results and can help them try to fashion an agreement to eliminate the risk of an uncertain result.
