Lawsuits are a time- consuming process that can destroy a business partnership. Moreover, usually the party that wins the dispute ends up losing a lot of money. Therefore, it’s essential to include a pre-litigation mediation clause as part a two-party business contract.
This is the process where a third party helps a plaintiff and defendant resolve their differences without going to trial. Parties can come together to discuss the issues, while keeping the issues strictly confidential. This can save both parties a lot of time and embarrassment from a full litigation. Additionally, mediation may come up with alternatives to financial resolutions.
