Employment Disputes

When employment relationships end or become compromised or sufficiently strained to the point of requiring action, mediation can help the parties find a fair and agreeable resolution to allow the parties to move forward, inside or outside of continued employment.  Particularly in the employment context, a mediated resolution does not always stop with the agreement to pay money, but can also include apologies and acknowledgements, reinstatement, non-disparagement, correction to employment records, and other items of consequence to the parties.
