Mediation is facilitated negotiation. Mediation involves the selection of a third party, neutral, i.e., a Mediator, to assist the parties to a dispute to create a solution and settlement for their dispute. Mediators do not render decisions. They facilitate negotiation and settlement. Mediation results in settlement of many disputes, and often serves as the catalyst for later settlement of disputes which did not settle during the initial mediation session. An essential element in a successful mediation is the selection of the proper Mediator. Thomas L. Webb is an experienced mediator who can help bring disputes to successful resolutions.
