Cambridge, Massachusetts, Mediation Lawyers

Many individuals and business owners underestimate the financial and long-term repercussions that a lawsuit can have on their lives or day-to-day operations. At Macero & Associates, P.C., we understand that litigation may indeed be the only way to resolve certain family or business disputes. However, we also believe that mediation is an equally viable alternative that allows clients to resolve their disagreements in a manner that is less costly, less time consuming and less stressful.

Mediation is a process whereby an impartial third party assists the disputing parties in voluntarily settling their differences outside of the courtroom. Both parties may be represented by their attorneys during the mediation process and any solutions reached must be agreed upon by both parties. Mediation not only allows parties to reach their own decisions, it can also help mend damaged business or personal relationships.

At Macero & Associates, P.C., we believe that our client's best interests always take top priority. As part of our comprehensive representation, we take the time to explain any alternative dispute resolution options for resolving a legal issue. Contact us to discuss mediation with an experienced legal advocate.

Business Dispute Mediation

For companies or corporations involved in a legal dispute, it is extremely important to retain the services of a mediator with significant experience in the area of business law. Our lawyers' strong background in business litigation allows them to provide business owners, stockholders, investors and all others with insightful guidance during the mediation of business disputes.

Our business mediation services can effectively address:

• Breaches of contract
• Service agreement claims
• Business ownership disputes
• Commercial lease disputes
• Family business conflicts

Although mediation is considered a non-compulsory dispute resolution option, some commercial contracts such as brokerage and wireless agreements make mediation a pre-condition to litigation. Unlike arbitration, however, mediators have no decision-making authority but rather facilitate a working and constructive dialogue among the parties.

Mediation in Other Civil Cases

For many families, a civil lawsuit is an inherently contentious approach to resolving a dispute. Mediation offers a healthier option that also accounts for people's feelings and the value of their relationships. Our firm can assist families with resolving will contests, disagreements over guardianships and challenges to conservatorships.
