“There are three key benefits to civil mediation vs. litigation,” Phillips continued. “Civil mediation is almost always less expensive than long-term litigation. Civil mediation allows each party to maintain a level of control to resolve the problem. Civil mediation is typically faster than litigation. We wanted the residents of Lebanon to have the benefits of mediation to address disputes.”
