Conciliation

Conciliation is a form of alternative dispute resolution in which a neutral third party, known as a conciliator, helps disputing parties reach an agreement. The conciliator does not decide the dispute, but rather facilitates the negotiation process. Conciliation is often used in commercial disputes, family disputes, and labor disputes.
