1. Settlement
2. Mediation
3. Arbitration

Settlement Between Disputing Parties

Probably the most common method of resolving disputes is settlement. In a settlement the disputing parties discuss their problems with one another and reach an agreement. attorneys and the legal system may never enter the picture.

Mediation Between Disputing Parties

Another method of resolving disputes is the process of mediation. Mediation is a form of settlement that uses a third person, known as a mediator. The mediator helps the parties come to an agreement to settle their differences. Mediation has become a popular practice.
