Successfully Mediating Workplace Disputes

The high cost of litigation, as well as the reality that most civil litigation is resolved prior to trial, has made mediation and arbitration of employment disputes more prevalent. Combined with the increase in court-mandated mediation and court-annexed alternative dispute resolution programs, mediation and arbitration have become a fact of life for litigators and parties alike. Knowing the keys to successful mediation, therefore, is essential for any litigator.
