What is Mediation?

Mediation is an alternative dispute resolution method in which parties resolve a dispute without going to court, with the help of a neutral third party (the mediator).

Core Principles of Mediation

Voluntariness: Parties participate of their own free will and may withdraw at any time.

Confidentiality: Information shared during sessions cannot be disclosed to third parties.

Impartiality: The mediator is neutral and does not favour either party.

Speed: Concluded much faster compared to court proceedings.

How Does the Mediation Process Work?

One of the parties applies for mediation.
A mediator is appointed and the first session is scheduled.
Parties present their views; the mediator facilitates communication.
If an agreement is reached, a record is signed; if not, the process ends.

In Which Disputes Is It Used?

Employment law (reinstatement, severance pay)
Commercial disputes
Rental and property law
