                                                  PROCESSES

  Mediation is a process in which an impartial third party assists the parties to resolve a dispute and obtain a mutually acceptable settlement. The mediator promotes communication among the parties, helping them to identify their interests in the dispute and frame the real issues involved. The mediator does not impose a decision on the parties. Instead, the parties retain total control over the outcome of the negotiations. The final settlement reflects the combined efforts and creativity of the parties, their counsel, and the mediator.

  Seven Bridges mediators employ different styles to resolve a particular dispute. Facilitative mediation enables the parties to maintain complete control over the structure of the mediation process. The mediator guides the parties and offers options to promote communication.

  We also employ Evaluative mediation which occurs when the mediator evaluates the factual and legal issues of the dispute, to advise the parties of the possible outcome of the dispute. The mediator will use any one or more styles and any guidelines agreed upon by the parties to settle a dispute.  

  In arbitration, the arbitrator hears evidence and arguments from the parties and makes a written decision or "award." The award may be binding or nonbinding, depending upon the agreement of the parties. The arbitration process can be flexible, and can be as formal or informal as the parties agree. This process enables the parties to select an arbitrator with the particular expertise in the subject matter in dispute. The process is usually less protracted and time consuming than allowing the case to proceed to trial in the court system.

  We look forward to serving as a neutral in your disputes and will work with both parties to provide a solution that is acceptable to all involved.
