Mediation is when two parties involve a neutral third party to help them overcome or resolve a dispute or argument.  The third party is not advisory in any capacity but merely there to help the parties to come to a shared understanding of the situation and to work towards an agreed resolution.

Mediation is also sometimes called ‘alternative dispute resolution’ (ADR).  It can be undertaken by couples, two companies, or even two countries.  Some examples of disputes which may be dealt with or helped by mediation include:
