Mediation

Mediation

Dialogue, balance and resolution

How it works

A resolution without direct conflict

Very often the parties to a dispute do not wish to meet in person, because the relationship has broken down or because earlier attempts to talk have failed. The process is designed to protect your comfort and peace of mind.

Party A
  1. An individual approach to each party

    The process is conducted through separate meetings with each party. You do not meet the other side and you need not be present at the same time. This guarantees you calm and freedom from emotional pressure.

  2. Individual conversations

    We begin with a separate meeting with you. Here you can be entirely frank about your concerns and your goals. Everything shared remains confidential and I will not pass it on to the other party unless you expressly ask me to.

  3. Translating the positions

    My task is to strip away the emotion and convey to the other party only the constructive part of your proposal. That way we avoid argument and focus on a practical resolution.

  4. Building a bridge

    As mediator I am the link between the parties. I carry proposals, discuss options and smooth over contradictions, helping each side see the objective benefits of an agreement without any confrontation.

  5. Time to reflect

    Because the communication passes through me, you have the time you need to consider each proposal calmly, without feeling pressed by the presence or the reactions of the other side.

  6. Finalising the settlement agreement

    Once you have reached agreement, I prepare the documents. Signing is also arranged in a way that does not require both parties to be physically present in the same place at the same time.

Why it works

Without stress

You avoid the emotional clash and the defensive reactions that follow.

Full safety

You control the information that reaches the other side.

Effectiveness

When there is no argument, we reach a resolution far faster than a courtroom would allow.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to meet the other party to sign the settlement agreement?

No. The process is arranged so that you do not cross paths at any point. The final document can be signed in two ways:

  • Remotely — with a qualified electronic signature, without leaving your home or office.
  • Before a civil law notary — if you want the signatures notarially certified, the visits can be arranged at different times, or even before different notaries where the law allows it for the particular case.
What happens if we do not reach agreement?

Mediation is voluntary. If, in the course of the individual conversations, you conclude that the options proposed do not meet your interests, you may end the procedure at any time. This in no way limits your right to take the dispute to court afterwards — on the contrary, you will by then have a far clearer view of the positions and of the real facts.

Can my own lawyer attend the individual meetings?

That is for you to decide. The process does not require another lawyer to take part. As a mediator with legal training and experience, I make sure the agreement is lawful and legally sound. If you do have a lawyer you trust, they may advise you or attend the meetings, but the decision is entirely yours. The aim is an effective outcome at minimum cost to you, without going through expensive and lengthy court proceedings.

Next step

Mediation begins with a separate conversation — with you alone.
