Mediators of Brownstein Thomas explaining Importance of Dispute Resolution
At the San Francisco employment law firm of Brownstein Thomas, LLP, we offer dispute resolution and mediation help for employers and employees from a team of knowledgeable employment attorneys. The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) recommends mediation as a "fair and efficient" way to resolve employment law-related disputes.
Employment Law Mediation Help
What is dispute mediation? There are many situations in which this is a viable option - if an employee feels discriminated against or harassed, or feels unsafe in their work environment, for example, the employer may be worried about legal action. Many employers and employees find that they can work out a mutually beneficial agreement with the help of a mediation lawyer who acts as an impartial third party. The informal nature of the process when compared with traditional litigation provides both the employee and employer a more relaxed environment in which to negotiate.
Alternatives to Litigation
Mediation and dispute resolution with our San Francisco mediation attorneys is an effective, proactive and money-saving way to resolve employment issues you may be having as either an employee or employer. Employment law litigation can be confusing and take far more time to resolve than collaborative methods, which can also be undertaken sooner than litigation. If the dispute involves an employer and current employee, for example, entering mediation with a third party such as a lawyer can help to solve the issue. Both parties would benefit from mediation as it allows the employee to return to productivity much sooner.
Save Time & Money with Mediation
Mediation negotiations can sometimes only take one session of a few hours if both parties are willing to openly negotiate. This typically takes place prior to the investigative stage of a lawsuit, so if an agreement is reached, time consuming investigation and litigation become unnecessary.
