Mediation is the process whereby an impartial third person helps disputing parties resolve their differences in a private and confidential setting. Mediation is a low cost, flexible, fast, efficient and completely confidential method of resolving disputes and is increasingly encouraged by Tennessee courts. While mediation is neither therapy nor counseling, it is a process whereby both parties are able to explore various settlement options, make informed decisions and realize a positive outcome. Mediation through Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 31 mediator Randall Bedwell has proven highly successful in many types of real estate, predatory lending and civil disputes.
