When Should a Business Dispute Be Settled Through Mediation?

Not every dispute has to end in court. Mediation is often faster, cheaper, and keeps the business relationship intact, but it does not suit every situation.

Key Points

  • Both parties still want to continue the business relationship.
  • The value of the dispute does not justify the cost and time of litigation.
  • The facts are fairly clear and the disagreement is about how to resolve it.
  • Confidentiality matters, which an open court hearing does not guarantee.

On the other hand, if one party acts in bad faith or you need a binding ruling as a precedent, litigation remains the better route.
