NEGOTIATED AGREEMENTS
Negotiation is the least formal and most common form of dispute resolution. Whether a dispute is headed to trial, or some form of Alternative Dispute Resolution, negotiation will always be involved, and in the case of Mediation, will be central to the proceedings.
In litigation, negotiations between the parties are often mandated by the courts, as a means of encouraging parties to resolve their differences without taxing an already overburdened court calendar. For the parties involved, mandatory negotiations are seen as a way to encourage the parties to resolve their issues without the time and expense of a trial. Even if these initial attempts at negotiation fail to yield the hoped-for results, most cases that are headed for trial eventually reach a settlement agreement before the trial. The reason for this is simple—litigation is costly, and the outcome is uncertain.
