Experience shows that mediation, in the appropriate case, saves time, money and controls risk. Mediation is a dispute resolution process mandated by the federal court in Vermont and, increasingly, by New Hampshire and Vermont state courts. The process can also be voluntarily activated by the parties involved, outside of the court setting.

Disputes most frequently resolved through mediation include complex business negotiations, commercial transactions and personal injury claims.
