Mediation is voluntary, confidential, and allows the parties to maintain control over the outcome. It is a flexible, cost-effective process that can have a high success rate of resolving disputes.

Mediation Presentation
Mediation is a voluntary alternative dispute resolution process in which a neutral third party helps parties reach a negotiated settlement. It has several benefits such as being informal, quick, flexible, cost effective, and allowing parties to preserve relationships and maintain control. Mediation is most suitable when parties are committed to the process, an ongoing relationship is important, privacy is important, or there is time pressure to settle. The mediator's role is to facilitate by summarizing issues and identifying common ground and options to help parties evaluate alternatives and reach an agreement.

Negotiation is a process where parties try to reach an agreement or compromise on issues in dispute. It involves exchanging offers and counteroffers to find mutually acceptable solutions. Effective negotiation requires preparation, understanding both sides' objectives and priorities, developing alternative options, and using strategies like focusing on interests rather than positions to achieve win-win outcomes when possible. Key roles for negotiators include maintaining team unity, understanding the issues, preparing necessary information, seeking compromise, and knowing when to conclude the negotiation. Personality traits alone do not determine outcomes, but both gender and power can influence negotiating style and perceived success.

This document summarizes 7 mediation cases handled by the Allahabad High Court Mediation and Conciliation Centre (AHCMCC). The cases involved matters like domestic violence, dowry demands, divorce, and child custody issues. In most cases, the parties had a high level of mutual distrust and were unwilling to compromise. The mediators encouraged the parties to reconsider their positions and make efforts to mend their relationships for the future well-being of their families. Confidentiality of the mediation process was maintained and no names of the parties or mediators were disclosed.
Conciliation
Conciliation is a voluntary alternative dispute resolution process in which a neutral third party (conciliator) assists parties in reaching an amicable settlement. The conciliator facilitates negotiations but may also propose non-binding settlement options. It is a confidential and flexible process like mediation but the conciliator can propose solutions. The Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act legally recognizes settlements reached through conciliation. Conciliation has a high success rate and allows parties to efficiently and cost-effectively resolve disputes while maintaining business relationships.

Alternative Dispute Resolution
Many firms find that using alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods to resolve their legal problems offers many benefits. The term ADR refers to the resolution of legal disputes through methods other than litigation, such as negotiation, mediation, arbitration, summary jury trials, minitrials, neutral case evaluations, and private trials.
alternative dispute resolution (ADR)
The resolution of legal problems through methods other than litigation.
Why might a business prefer ADR to litigation? First, ADR methods are generally faster and cheaper. According to the National Arbitration Forum, the average time from filing a complaint to judgment through litigation is 25 months.9 Because ADR is faster, it is usually cheaper. According to the American Intellectual Property Law Association, for cases valued in the $1 million to $25 million range, the average total cost of patent litigation for each party through the close of discovery is $1.9 million.10 Through the end of trial, the average cost to each party is $3.5 million. Thus, if a party can resolve a dispute through alternative dispute resolution, this can save a significant amount of money.
Second, a business may want to avoid the uncertainty associated with a jury decision; many forms of ADR give the participants more control over the resolution of the dispute. Specifically, the parties can select a neutral third party, frequently a person with expertise in the area of the dispute, to help facilitate resolution of the case. Third, a business may want to avoid setting a precedent through a court decision. Fourth, a business may prefer ADR because it is confidential. Fifth, because many forms of ADR are less adversarial than litigation, ADR allows the parties to preserve a business relationship.
Courts also generally support the use of ADR, which alleviates some of the pressure on the overwhelming court dockets. Congress has recognized the benefits of ADR methods through its enactment of the Alternative Dispute Resolution Act of 1998. This act requires federal district courts to have an ADR program along with a set of rules regarding the program. Additional evidence of congressional support for ADR comes from the passage of the Administrative Dispute Resolution Act, which mandates that federal agencies must create internal ADR programs.
Primary Forms of ADR
LO 3-5 How are the various forms of alternative dispute resolution used by businesses today?
Negotiation
Many business managers make frequent use of negotiation, a bargaining process in which disputing parties interact informally, either with or without lawyers, to attempt to resolve their dispute. No neutral third party is involved. Thus, negotiation differs from other methods of dispute page 51resolution because the parties maintain high levels of autonomy. Some courts require parties to negotiate before they bring their dispute to trial.

Piddington CPD - Mediation - 9 November 2016 Final
This document summarizes key points from a mediation masterclass discussing when to mediate and how to prepare for mediation.
The first point made is that mediating early in a case has advantages, as even if a case doesn't settle at the first mediation, it allows for an assessment of further steps needed to improve the chances of settlement later. Subsequent sections discuss ensuring the right people attend mediation, such as those with authority to settle; providing documents to the mediator in advance; discussing the case merits and costs with the client in advance; and considering alternatives to settlement like BATNA and WATNA. Finally, the document emphasizes that preparing for mediation is as important as preparing for trial.

Negotiations are important for international business dealings as they help build relationships, find quality solutions, and avoid future conflicts. Effective negotiations involve understanding the negotiation process, behaviors of those involved, and the issues being negotiated.
Negotiation Strategy and Planning [Sav Lecture]
Systematic planning is important for negotiation but often overlooked due to time constraints and interest in action. Skilled negotiators who plan are more likely to achieve successful outcomes. The planning process involves setting goals and a strategy, understanding interests, assessing limits and alternatives, analyzing the other side, and planning the negotiation protocol. Planning gives negotiators the information they need to effectively make their case and achieve their objectives.

Planning gives negotiators the information they need to effectively make their case and achieve their objectives.
