Why Choose Mediation or Arbitration?
Mediation and arbitration allow parties to resolve conflicts on their own terms rather than relying on the traditional court system. These solutions offer key advantages, including:
-
Greater control
Parties decide on the process and rules -
Cost savings
Avoid the high expenses of lengthy litigation -
Faster resolutions
Reduce waiting times associated with court proceedings -
Confidentiality
Keep disputes private and out of public record
Mediation: A Collaborative and Flexible Resolution Process
Mediation is a voluntary process that helps parties reach a settlement through guided negotiation. A neutral mediator facilitates discussions, helping parties clarify issues, explore settlement options, and identify solutions.
Unlike litigation, where a judge imposes a decision, mediation allows the parties to retain full control over the outcome. It is particularly effective for disputes in commercial transactions, personal injury claims, family law matters, construction projects, and estate conflicts.
Our Edmonton-based mediators assist clients across Alberta, ensuring effective resolution strategies tailored to each case.
Arbitration: A Structured, Legally Binding Alternative to Court
Arbitration provides a structured process where a neutral arbitrator hears the dispute and makes a decision, similar to a judge in a trial. The parties agree in advance on the rules of procedure, including how evidence will be presented and whether the arbitrator’s decision will be legally binding.
Benefits of arbitration include:
- Customizable procedures tailored to the specific dispute
- Faster resolutions compared to traditional court cases
- Reduced need for lengthy witness testimony and formal court processes
- Legally binding outcomes, providing certainty for all parties involved
