Mediation is a preferred method for disputes where the parties involved have a long-standing relationship and want to continue doing business together. Unlike a trial, mediation is not adversarial in nature and involves a neutral third party mediator who helps the parties come to a mutually agreeable resolution. This allows for a less confrontational approach to resolving the dispute and helps to preserve the business relationship between the parties.
