Since 1998, VLA’s MediateArt program has offered mediation services for the resolution of disputes, contract negotiation, and relationship management in a neutral, confidential forum at a nominal cost. Mediation is a voluntary dispute resolution process in which unbiased professionals assist parties in resolving legal and business disputes, negotiating contracts or managing an ongoing relationship. The process may be completed within one 3-hour session. If necessary, additional sessions may be arranged.
