What is Mediation?

Mediation is a confidential, voluntary form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in which a neutral third party helps participants find common ground and reach mutually agreeable solutions. Unlike court, mediation fosters collaboration, preserves relationships, and keeps decision-making in the hands of the parties. At PowerHouse, our mediators facilitate productive conversations and guide participants toward resolution—without judgment, pressure, or delay.

Yes. All discussions in mediation are private and protected by confidentiality rules.

While attorneys are often involved—especially in litigated cases—you don’t need a lawyer to mediate. Many clients choose to represent themselves or consult legal counsel before or after the mediation session.  Mediators cannot offer parties legal advice.

Even if a full resolution isn’t reached, mediation often narrows the issues, improves communication, and sets the stage for future settlement. And at PowerHouse, we offer creative follow-up options, including med-arb, neutral evaluation, or continued facilitated discussions.
