What is Mediation

Alternative Dispute Resolution method

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is a set of extra-judicial mechanisms of resolving conflicts between parties, outside of courtrooms. ADR has emerged as a reaction to the shortcomings of traditional systems of resolving disputes through the courts.

One of the mechanisms of ADR is Mediation.

Mediation is primarily a confidential procedure. Parties in dispute resort to obtaining neutral and impartial assistance of a mediator to resolve the conflict between them by negotiation. The mediator obtains and compiles a mediation agreement which will represent the will of the parties.

Mediation is a structured, voluntary process, which facilitates conflict solving between parties, emphasizing the interests of the parties instead of the judicial aspects of the conflict.

Additionally, the governing principles of mediation are impartialness, neutrality and full confidentiality.

The role of the mediator is to facilitate negotiations, to assist parties in making decisions with the purpose of identifying the best mutually beneficial and durable solution, of all solutions and options provided by the parties themselves.

The main mission of the mediator is to spare no effort in using his skill in order to support the parties in reaching an agreement.

Throughout the mediation process, common as well as separate sessions will be organized, according to the needs of the parties.
