Mediation and arbitration: resolving issues before major disputes arise 

Mediation is a tool used to reach a resolution of a dispute or grievance.  Successful mediation often prevents an employee being dismissed or an employer having a personal grievance filed against them or otherwise pursued. Our employment lawyers have the experience and skill set to mediate towards your desired outcomes and get the results you and your business need from your employees.
