The Coronavirus pandemic has been considered a global crisis. Many have been affected, from business to personal matters. People are in disarray because many are getting sick, they cannot go out, businesses are closed, and some do not have an income because of offices closed. People are stressed out causing more disputes which are taking a toll on management and relationships. More problems arose because of this COVID-19 pandemic.

Amidst this lockdown and chaos, there is a solution available for you to resolve your conflicts. Whether this is a family dispute or a business dispute, mediation is the answer to your conflicts. Mediation is a legal process where both parties will discuss their issues, negotiate towards a resolution with a third neutral person called the mediator.

Mediation is a better way to resolve disputes especially now. Not only because the courts are closed, but also because of the benefits. With mediation, your discussions are more private. If you fill this in court and trials will happen, you and the parties involved are subject to the public eye. If this is a sensitive topic, many will know about it. Another thing, mediation is the better option during this pandemic because it is faster. This is something that can be done in a day, as long as all the issues are handled and both parties agree with the resolution. If you take your dispute in the courts, you have to wait for them to open and trials might last for years.

Mediation also allows us to preserve relationships. The dispute now might just be caused by the Coronavirus pandemic, and when everything happens you might regret if you cut off your relationship with the other party involved. Mediation allows you to personalize your agreements too, towards the resolution. Unlike in court, what the judge says is the decision. But with mediation, the decision is in your hands.
