WHAT IS MEDIATION? <\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Mediation is a process by which an independent and impartial person (the mediator) helps the parties in conflict to find a solution, thus avoiding going to court. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The mediator will be neutral and does not have the posibility to impose a decision. The mediator will be in charge of conducting the mediation session, helping the parties reach an agreement. However, once the parties have decided to initiate a mediation process, they can abandon the process at any time, without having to end it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

WHAT ADVANTAGES DOES IT HAVE? <\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n
