Mediation
Mediation is a procedure for out-of-court conflict solutions which enables the parties involved in a legal dispute to find an amicable solution without being forced to resort to legal jurisdiction or arbitration proceedings.
As a neutral third party with no jurisdictional or decision-making powers, the Mediator assists the disputing parties in developing solutions on their own responsibility. Mediation is therefore based on the private autonomy of the disputing parties. In a Mediation, the parties basically neither entrust the procedural arrangement nor the control over the end-result to a third party. The Mediator merely assists the parties on their way to a self-determined solution of the conflict.
Based on experience gathered in Anglo-American proceedings, Mediation is increasingly becoming an alternative to judicial disputes, and that on all levels of business and social life. The aim of meditation proceedings is to conclude a written mediation agreement which can and is intended to act as an executable basis for the parties concerned.
Mediation is the “way of the future” in all matters of business life and is also appropriate in family dispute matters, for example with regard to the settling of separation and divorce consequences (parental care and maintenance, inter alia). However, Mediation is also an efficient procedure for the settling of inheritance and company law disputes, succession matters and in all contentious issues in internal conflicts.
