Mediation

Working toward Common Solutions

Mediation is one of the most effective, yet inexpensive ways to settle disputes in the legal system. This process often produces results that are more successful and fair to the parties involved because it allows both sides of a dispute to sit down and voice their opinions outside of the adversarial system. Mediation can be effective in resolving family law, business, construction, real estate, employment, workers' compensation and many other legal disputes.

Lewis Wagner, LLP, is an Indianapolis, Indiana, law firm that has become a leader in the area of mediation. Mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) have become a popular way to resolve conflicts. To determine whether mediation is an appropriate method to resolve your dispute, contact one of our attorneys.

Some of the benefits of using mediation as a means to resolve disputes include:

• Fostering working relationships between you and opposing parties
• Saving the costs inherent in other dispute resolution options
• Resolving disputes faster and more efficiently than through litigation
• Preserving confidentiality concerning disputes and related information
• Maintaining control to avoid contingent liability issues

Serving as Third Party Mediators

One of the benefits of mediation is having a neutral third person serving as a conduit to transmit information between you and the other party. Several of the attorneys at our firm have been trained as mediators.
