WHAT IS MEDIATION?

Mediation is a process by which an independent and impartial person (the mediator) helps the parties in conflict to find a solution, thus avoiding going to court.

The mediator will be neutral and does not have the posibility to impose a decision. The mediator will be in charge of conducting the mediation session, helping the parties reach an agreement. However, once the parties have decided to initiate a mediation process, they can abandon the process at any time, without having to end it.

WHAT ADVANTAGES DOES IT HAVE?

The opposing parties have an agile and economical tool to reach an agreement. It is a confidential and voluntary procedure that favors communication, dialogue and negotiation.

WHAT IS THE COST OF THE MEDIATION SERVICE?

It is much cheaper than a court proceeding. The intervening parties face the service fees at 50%. The cost and duration of a mediation process will depend on the complexity of each case.

WHY RESOLVE MY CONFLICTS THROUGH MEDIATION?

It allows conflicts, arguments and problems to be properly managed to minimize damage, and prevent them from destructively affecting the other party. It is a current and efficient method that provides practical, effective and profitable solutions. Mediation is a simple and flexible, fast and inexpensive, confidential and voluntary process, where the Mediator is absolutely neutral. It facilitates the culture of peace and dialogue, providing greater social coexistence. The agreements reached through Mediation have a higher compliance rate than a court ruling. The level of satisfaction of the parties is much higher, since it is a solution that they have reached together, without it having been imposed on them by a third party. Mediation is a win-win way to solve the problems.
