Mediation

Mediation (noun): A process of conflict resolution or dispute settlement where a neutral third party, known as a mediator, facilitates communication and negotiation between parties who are in conflict. The goal of mediation is to help the parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement on their own terms. Mediation is typically voluntary, confidential, and non-binding unless a settlement is reached and agreed upon by all parties involved.

Arbitration

Arbitration (noun): A method of dispute resolution where parties involved in a conflict agree to submit their dispute to one or more arbitrators, who make a binding decision on the matter. Arbitration is often used as an alternative to litigation in courts, providing a more private, efficient, and potentially less expensive way to resolve disputes.

Dispute Resolution

Dispute Resolution (noun): The methods and processes used to resolve conflicts, disputes, or disagreements between parties. It encompasses various approaches, both formal and informal, aimed at achieving a resolution that satisfies all parties involved. The goal of dispute resolution is to avoid prolonged conflicts and potential escalation, promoting a peaceful and fair outcome.
