What is Mediation?

Mediation is a way to resolve disputes and discussions outside of court. When two or more parties have a conflict they cannot resolve on their own, they can turn to a mediator.

The mediator is a neutral third party who guides the parties in finding a solution. They are independent and will not act or fight on behalf of just one party. It is always better for parties to reach a solution together through dialogue rather than through a legal procedure against each other.

What are the steps of mediation?

1. Initial Meeting
Explanation of the mediation process and how it will proceed. Discussing your concerns and expectations. Answering urgent questions.

2. Discussing the Protocol
Together, we review the rules and legal obligations of the mediation process.

3. Defining an Action Plan
Your concerns are translated into an action plan. Determining which points can be agreed upon.

4. Mediation Sessions
The action plan is put into practice during our discussions. We provide information, support, and mediate between the parties.

5. Drafting a Customized Agreement
The agreements reached are documented in detail in a formal agreement.

6. Court and/or Notary Involvement
In some cases, the involvement of a notary or court is necessary or recommended. For example, in a divorce or the transfer of real estate.

7. Follow-up Discussion
Do you have any further questions? We provide space for a follow-up discussion.
