Mediation
A mediator works with the parties to identify the issues of greatest concern to them and explore terms that are acceptable to both sides – including solutions that may be different from what either party originally contemplated.
Arbitration
An arbitrator or panel of arbitrators (typically, three) makes a binding decision on the matters in dispute based on the relevant law and/or contractual language and the evidence and arguments presented by the parties.
Med-arb
A mediation-arbitration (med-arb) process begins with efforts, through mediation, to find mutually acceptable solutions to as many of the matters in dispute as possible – and then shifts to arbitration for any issues that can’t be resolved through mediation.
