Mediation is a good option to resolve part or all of a San Diego business dispute. Our Courts are back-logged with business litigation cases in normal times. The recent pandemic and the challenges associated with budgets, zoom communications and personnel have overwhelmed the system.
Mediation is now required before appearing before a Judge or jury in San Diego courts. Mediation is designed to provide a calm, productive environment where parties in a business dispute or litigation have the opportunity to work through and resolve specific issues or the entire dispute. You should have your own representation from the Watkins Firm throughout mediation.
Why is mediation is a good option to resolve part or all of a San Diego business dispute The mediator is a neutral third party with extensive expertise relating to the subject matter of the dispute itself, as well as the laws of California and the commercial code. A mediator is agreed upon by the parties in the dispute. Mediation begins with each side providing background (from their perspective) and their concerns or issues in the dispute. The mediator works to ensure that the parties clearly understand not only the nature of the core issues, but the perspective of the opposing party. The mediator then helps the parties to put options on the table, and ultimately work to negotiate a resolution to part or all of the dispute.
Simply put, mediation resolves disputes in a timely, cost-effective manner.
