What to expect during the mediation Chicago process:

The goal is for both parties to come to a mutual agreement. Participants retain decision making power and the likelihood of success is greater when the participants feel involved in the process and can agree to something that they can both achieve. 

The role of the mediator:

The mediator is neutral and does not have an interest in the dispute. Understand that the purpose of mediation is to try to come to a mutual and satisfactory agreement. The role of the mediator is to facilitate discussions that ultimately get parties on the same page for resolution.

Once an agreement has been reached the mediator will prepare a document summarizing the agreement which both parties will sign. Parties should ask any further questions to ensure that expectations are clear.
