Mediation
Alternative dispute resolution
Mediation is a fast, confidential and more cost-effective method where the parties come together and generate their own solutions.
Mandatory mediation
In a significant portion of labour law, commercial disputes and consumer disputes, applying to a mediator before filing a lawsuit is a mandatory procedural condition. The proper conduct of this stage is also decisive for the subsequent lawsuit.
Voluntary mediation
Parties may also choose mediation in non-mandatory disputes. When it is desired to maintain the commercial relationship, this path is often more appropriate than a lawsuit.
How does the process work?
Following the application, the parties come together accompanied by the mediator. The meetings are confidential; what is said here cannot be used as evidence in a subsequent lawsuit. If an agreement is reached, the drafted minutes become a document with the character of a court judgment.
Our role
We participate in the entire process under a power of attorney on behalf of the client, and structure the settlement agreement in favor of the client and in an enforceable manner.
