Mediation in contract law involves resolving disputes arising from contracts through a structured, non-adversarial process. It’s an alternative to litigation, where a neutral third party, the mediator, facilitates discussions between disputing parties to reach a mutually acceptable resolution. Mediation is especially useful in contract disputes because it allows parties to maintain relationships, save costs, and craft flexible solutions.

When Mediation is Used in Contract Disputes

Breach of Contract:

  • Disputes over failure to fulfill terms, like delivery timelines, quality standards, or payment obligations.

Ambiguities in Terms:

  • Conflicts due to unclear or vague contract language.

Termination Disputes::

  • Disagreements over whether a contract was terminated fairly or unlawfully.

Unfulfilled Expectations:

  • Issues where one party feels that performance fell short of the agreement’s spirit.

Changes in Circumstances:

  • Situations where unforeseen events make it hard for one or both parties to meet their obligations.
