Mediation

Mediation is a collaborative, informal and confidential procedure. It is fast and inexpensive. It takes place in a discreet setting and at a time convenient for the parties. The involvement of lawyers makes the procedure more expensive, so the parties often participate in mediation independently, especially when there is no pending case for the same dispute. No evidence is collected in mediation. Therefore, confidentiality motivates the sincerity of the disputants by creating peace of mind for them that any admissions remain without legal consequences. The decisive entity is the parties, not the mediator. There are no losers. The resolution of the dispute is beneficial to both parties, and “a good agreement is preserved”. Cooperative relations most often continue after the procedure.
