After becoming one of the most litigious societies in the world mediation is fast becoming the increasingly popular, timely and cost effective way to settle disputes. Furthermore mediation ensures privacy while publicity is unavoidable when disputes are aired in court. As a result of all of these factors, mediators have and are expected to continue experiencing above average growth in employment.
