Mediation allows you to realize your goals, in a way litigation often does not. In addition to reaching a full fair and equitable legal settlement, you may have other goals that you wish to accomplish.

For example, you may wish in a divorce for your children to have as stress free and supportive environment as possible, or in the employment context, you may need to resolve personal issues with your supervisor.

Studies show that when these goals are also realized, agreements are longer lasting and the results more satisfying for both parties.
