Apples and oranges.
A mediator helps the parties forge an agreement. A mediator does not represent a party nor may appear in Court. The lawyer represents the parties before a court. You can have a lawyer and go to mediation.
Personally, if you have the right lawyers (both sides) you don't need mediation.
