Negotiating or mediating your employment claim may be useful prior to filing a lawsuit because it will most likely save you emotional, financial and time costs of a full trial. These methods offer several key advantages:
Faster Resolutions: These are cheaper than the legal process because by engaging me in negotiation, mediation, arbitration, you are able to resolve the issue faster and get on with your life or your career.
Cost Savings: Legal disputes can be costly because of cost of fees of the court, lawyers, and sundry expenses. Pre-litigation measures are usually much simpler and easier to implement and, therefore, cost much less.
Confidentiality: Unlike the trials that most of the time are open to the public, negotiations, mediations, arbitrations are closed to the public thus you do not want sensitive issues aired in public.
Preserving Relationships: Unlike the other processes, the pre-litigation procedures are relatively friendly, which is vital if you do not wish to ruin your relations with your employer or coworkers in case you sue your employer and win the case.
Creative Solutions: While a court has a set number of things it can do, pre-litigation methods can most often come up with ideas out of the blue that will satisfy both the parties involved in the lawsuit.
