Mediation is a fast and direct way to resolve disputes. Whether there are two or more parties the conflict is resolved through dialogue and the goal is to reach a settlement which satisfies all parties involved.
Mediation is an effective way of resolving disputes with full confidentiality and out of court or arbitration.
A neutral and impartial mediator helps the parties to identify the conflict issues, discuss individual interests and needs and finally helps the parties to find solutions that suit the parties’ situation and comply with the their interests and needs.
The goal is to reach a mutually satisfactory settlement based on the parties’ interests and needs rather than legal standards only. Mediation does not only focus on the legal issues. You get the chance to speak up and decide the best way to resolve the conflict yourself instead of letting a judge make the decision.
In most construction projects it is necessary for the parties to continue to cooperate. Unlike civil litigation or arbitration, mediation offers the possibility to take the parties’ professional relation into consideration.
International companies increasingly choose to use mediation.
Mediation gives the parties the chance to move on as soon as possible in the best possible way.
Depending on the complexity of the case a construction related conflict typically gets settled over one to two sessions. The Mediation Institute also offers a fast track process that ensures that the mediation will take place within 48 hours and will be completed within 7 days.
