Why Choose Mediation? (from the Mediators Institute of Ireland) 

1. Less Adversarial:

Mediation is an interest-based process based on consensus and collaborative agreement.

2.Lower Cost:
Both in monetary and personal terms, mediation is inexpensive compared to rights-based interventions such as investigation or litigation.

3. Preservation of Working Relationships:
Mediation works towards long-term solutions for the disputing Parties, and where there is an ongoing relationship places significant emphasis on how they will interact in the future.
Control:

4. Mediation belongs to the Parties. The disputing Parties control the content and outcome of the mediation.

5.Creative Solutions:
Mediation allows for creative solutions which may not be available in rights-based processes.

6. Protection of Privacy:
The confidential nature of mediation allows the Parties to negotiate freely and productively without fear of publicity.

7. Swift Settlement:
Mediation can be scheduled soon after a dispute arises and following the pre-mediation meetings, can often be concluded in a single day.

8. Preservation of Options:
Engagement in a mediated intervention does not preclude participation in a different dispute resolution process.

9. Low Risk:
Settlement potential is high and there are benefits to participating in the process
for all.
