The Importance of Agreement in Mediation

01 July 2025

Mediation is an alternative dispute resolution method where parties reach a solution among themselves with the help of a mediator, as an alternative to court proceedings. Reaching an agreement in this process provides significant advantages for both the parties and the system.

Benefits of Agreement for the Parties

Time savings: While court processes can take years, mediation is usually completed in a few sessions.

Cost advantage: Litigation costs, attorney fees, and time losses are greatly reduced.

Confidentiality: Mediation discussions are confidential; information shared by the parties cannot be carried over to court proceedings.

Preserving relationships: Especially in business and commercial disputes, a solution reached by mutual consent allows the relationship to continue.

Impact on Fee Calculation

The agreement status directly affects the mediation fee. In disputes concluded with an agreement, the fee is calculated based on the relevant bracket of the tariff. In cases of no agreement, the minimum fee applies.

The Denklem app performs automatic calculations for both situations; you can enter the agreement amount and number of parties to get the result in seconds.
