Mediation Lawyer in Toronto

When legal disputes arise, parties often presume that litigation will be the next step. However, litigation can be costly and take a considerable amount of time to resolve. In some cases, it may be best to seek out alternative methods of dispute resolution that can be handled more efficiently, while mitigating costs for the parties involved. In addition, these methods allow parties to resolve a matter discretely, as details of the proceedings remain confidential. This is in contrast to litigation, which is open to the public and matters form a part of the public record.

A Guide to Negotiation, Mediation, and Arbitration

Each method of alternative dispute resolution has pros and cons and is best employed in specific circumstances.
No solution is one-size-fits-all.

Negotiation

When parties are in dispute, sometimes the simplest option is best. Effective negotiation by a skilled lawyer can go a long way toward resolving a matter efficiently. When negotiating on behalf of a client, GLG LLP will work to secure their client’s interests and resolve a matter quickly. This is often the best first step in resolving a matter, before turning to more formal proceedings.

Mediation

Mediation employs a neutral third-party mediator to manage negotiations between the parties of a dispute. A mediator does not issue a decision in a matter, but rather facilitates discussion and attempts to guide the parties towards a mutually agreeable resolution. In situations where parties are open to discussion, this method can be an efficient way to resolve a disagreement. However, if parties are strictly at odds, it may not be the optimal solution.

Arbitration

Arbitration is a mid-point between mediation and litigation. In arbitration, the parties agree to appoint a third-party adjudicator to hear both sides of a matter and issue a binding decision. Oftentimes, business and employment contracts will establish arbitration as the resolution method of choice for any dispute, so that the parties can avoid costly litigation. An arbitrator’s decision will be binding on the parties unless they have agreed to certain rights of appeal in advance.
