Mediation remains a viable option even after hiring a lawyer

It’s never too late to pursue mediation as a dispute resolution method, even if you’ve already retained legal counsel. Many clients successfully transition to mediation after initially working with lawyers. In fact, having legal representation can be beneficial during the mediation process, as your lawyer can:

  • Provide valuable legal advice throughout mediation
  • Review any agreements before signing
  • Work collaboratively with the mediator
  • Continue representing your interests if mediation doesn’t resolve all issues

The flexibility of mediation allows you to begin the process at any stage of your dispute, potentially saving time and money while maintaining better relationships between parties.
