Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution that involves a neutral third-party mediator who facilitates communication and negotiation between disputing parties. Here at Atlantic Mediation Services, we help the parties identify the issues in a dispute, clarify positions, and explore options for resolving the conflict. Our mediators do not impose a solution, but rather help the parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement on their own.

​

Mediation is often used in a variety of contexts, including workplace disputes, family conflicts, and commercial disputes. The process is informal and flexible, allowing the parties to tailor the process to their specific needs and concerns. Mediation is often faster, less costly, and less adversarial than traditional legal methods for resolving disputes. It is also more confidential and allows the parties to maintain control over the outcome of the dispute.
