Mediators do not make decisions for the parties. Mediators help parties realize and explain their needs, clarify misunderstandings, identify issues, explore creative solutions and negotiate an agreement. It is particularly useful when parties have a continuing business or personal relationship.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></div> <div class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in; LINE-HEIGHT: 150%"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial">Because mediation is not a legal process it often includes the parties’ underlying needs and interests, thus broadening options for resolution and increasing the likelihood that the resolution will address the parties’ true needs.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></div> <div
