It's not mandatory to have a lawyer for mediation, but it’s wise to consult one to understand your rights and make sure you’re on the right track.
If mediation doesn't lead to a resolution, you can then proceed to court or arbitration, so it's not a dead end—it just opens a new door.
If your contract has a mediation clause, you usually need to try mediation first before hitting the courtroom. It's a bit like trying to defuse a bomb before calling the fire department!
Mediation itself isn’t binding, but if both parties agree on a solution during mediation, they can create a binding agreement from that.
In mediation, a neutral third party helps both sides communicate and find a common ground. Think of it as having a referee in a friendly game to help sort things out!
A mediation clause is a part of an agreement that says if there's a disagreement, both parties will try to solve it through mediation before taking any legal action.
