Conflict and dispute are inevitable parts of life. Conflict may arise in our personal lives as in family matters or may arise in our professional lives as in a contractual dispute, straining business relationship or employment issues. Regardless of its nature little can be done in the way of avoidance, however, the means by which disputes, and conflict are resolved, is entirely an individual choice.
The method of dispute resolution one selects is important. In today's litigious society, when conflicts arise, often, parties impulsively seek resolution by way of judicial determination. However, this approach can lead to a lengthy and expensive resolution. Further, the costs, timing and outcome of the dispute is subjected to the discretion of judicial process and to the unpredictable schedule of costly attorneys.
This is why NJ Mediation Service believes in the value of agreement through mediation. We refer not only to the value derived from a comparatively less expensive resolution process, but to the personal and professional value as well.
NJ Mediation Service empowers individuals personally by providing a means by which to actively participate in and create the outcome of their own dispute resolution. Clients often find cathartic value in having the opportunity to freely discuss their interests and concerns, and likewise, hear the same from the other party.
If the dispute is professional in nature, mediation can add significant value to resolution costs by many orders of magnitude. Savvy professionals understand the cost benefit of mediation and naturally seek to economize dispute resolution as they would any other business necessity. Given that mediation is often mandatory in civil matters and that 97% of all court cases statistically result in settlement, mediation can add significant value in the vast majority of cases.
Finally, cooperative resolution is a means by which personal and professional relationships can be strengthened and preserved into the future. Moreover, when parties are able resolve their disputes privately, they are not only gaining value personally or professionally, but they are also contributing value to society at large by minimizing needless litigation and relieving the burden to the public court system. That's why NJ Mediation Service strongly encourages you to "Settle for More!"
