What is the difference between legal/traditional and private mediation?
Traditional mediation is a legal proceeding conducted by a registered neutral, in affiliation with a legal court proceeding. The results of a legal mediation are binding, and bear the same legal weight as a court decision. Private mediation, also known as informal, internal or corporate mediation, is the specialty of Flourish Consulting & Mediation. This type of dispute resolution is typically conducted before a legal proceeding would be considered, often between two managers or employees at the same organization. Private mediation can also be conducted between two individuals when no official legal decision is needed. For every mediation — traditional or private — it is critical to use a properly trained and certified mediator.
