Mediation

Texas Employment Mediation Attorney

Mediation is the least formal means of settling a dispute between parties in an employment setting. Both parties are generally more satisfied with the results because both parities have ample opportunity to express their concerns. The employment lawyers at the Mills Shirley law firm often recommend mediation to our clients.

In addition to being board certified in employment law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, Mills Shirley attorney Carla Cotropia has served as a mediator for the Southern District of Texas, Galveston Division. She is sought as a mediator because of her ability to understand issues from both sides, enabling her to resolve disputes in a way that satisfies both parties.

Mediation is often preferred over litigation for several reasons:

• Mediation is generally less expensive than litigation or other forms of legal recourse.
• Disputes are typically resolved faster than through litigation.
• Both parties are typically more satisfied and willing to comply with terms of a solution that has been mutually agreed on rather than imposed by a third-party decision-maker (as in arbitration or court procedures).
• A mediated settlement that addresses all parties’ interests can often preserve a working relationship or make the termination of a relationship more amicable.
