Mediation Agreement

A mediation agreement is a legal document that outlines the terms and conditions of a mediation process, which is a form of alternative dispute resolution where a neutral third party helps the parties in a dispute reach a mutually acceptable resolution. The agreement typically includes provisions such as the selection of the mediator, the scope of the mediation, confidentiality requirements, and the allocation of costs. By signing the mediation agreement, the parties commit to engaging in the mediation process in good faith and to abiding by any settlement reached during the mediation. Mediation agreements can be used in various contexts, such as contract disputes, employment issues, or family law matters.
