Many people know that mediation is commonly used by groups involved in arbitration in order to move a case along expeditiously. Other times, mediation is an ALTERNATIVE to arbitration and is needed on a smaller scale in smaller settings. Hiring a mediator is almost always less expensive than hiring an attorney. In addition to SAVING MONEY, you will also SAVE TIME by avoiding lengthy, drawn-out court procedures. If your goal is to find a resolution to a dispute, and you believe that the parties involved are capable of presenting their side of the issue clearly and fairly with the shared goal of resolving a conflict, then mediation may be for you. Here at Align Solutions Group, we are proud to be one of the nation’s leading sources for private and commercial mediation.
While most lawyers are experts in the art of value-claiming bargaining, most have very little formal training in value-creating negotiation. In fact, most good attorneys are well versed in the adversarial nature of the practice of law. Mediators, on the other hand, are impartial individuals representing neither side who assist parties in reaching a voluntary settlement through the unbiased analysis of the facts of the situation.
Understanding the process and procedures of mediation and using these resources to “iron out your wrinkles” is what we do so that your business can run smoothly.
The American Arbitration Association, the American Bar Association, and the Association for Conflict Resolution established the Model Standards of Conduct for Mediators in an attempt to explain and regulate the types of mediation available to both commercial and personal entities.
Align Solutions Group operates within the boundaries of these standards, and we provide mediation as an effort to resolve a broad range of conflicts within a variety of settings. Interpersonal dynamics and fundamental ethical guidelines are the backbone of our organization and are exemplified by our mediators’ conduct as we inform mediating parties and promote public confidence during the process of resolving disputes.
