What is a Mediation Agreement?

A Mediation Agreement is a written contract between parties in conflict and a neutral mediator, outlining the rules, responsibilities, and process for resolving disputes outside of court.

Why is a Mediation Agreement important?

It ensures all parties understand their roles, provides a framework for fair discussions, and enforces confidentiality. It also promotes cooperation and helps avoid costly, time-consuming litigation.

When should you use a Mediation Agreement?

Use it whenever parties voluntarily agree to mediate disputes — whether business disagreements, contractual issues, family matters, or workplace conflicts. Courts may also order mediation before proceeding with a trial.

What should a Mediation Agreement include?

It should define the mediator’s role, the issues to be mediated, confidentiality provisions, participation requirements, fees, and whether any settlement reached will be binding.

Does mediation always lead to a binding resolution?

Not necessarily. Mediation is usually non-binding unless the parties reach a written settlement agreement, which can then become enforceable in court.
