Workplace Mediation confidentially assists parties in dispute to listen & hear one another, generate options, and create solid writen agreements that create a formal record of resolution. Mediation is commonly used to prevent litigation and to resolve disputes before trial or arbitration. Approximately 85-90% of disputes filed are settled through mediation after an arbitration or lawsuit is filed.

Workplace Arbitrators are finders of fact in a hearing of equity. CoMA’s arbitrators offer a full & fair hearing to the parties. Using wisdom & professional experience, the arbitrator judges the matter fairly, rendering a binding decision. Some employment contracts and partnership buy/sell agreements call for arbitration before a dispute arises. CoMA can arbitrate under another forum's rules:

• if the contract states that the arbitration is to be conducted using another forum's rules
• by agreement of the parties, or the parties may agree to use CoMA's forum and CoMA's Rules of Procedure

Types of Disputes: Conflicts stemming from partnership disputes, reorganization / mergers / buy-outs, commission payments, change in management, employee performance, employment conditions, etc. CoMA’s professional panelists are skilled & experienced in resolving disputes quickly and efficiently.
