Classical dispute resolution mechanisms such as arbitration or litigation can absorb significant amounts of time, money, and other corporate resources. To make things worse, business relationship can be irremediably severed through so-called “positional” methods such as litigation and arbitration.
Mediation addresses these concerns: In mediation, parties attempt to solve their conflict with the assistance of one or two neutrals, the mediator(s). A mediator – unlike a conciliator – has no mandate to give guidance on the subject-matter of the conflict. Instead, a mediator is only in charge of the process. It is for the parties to find common ground for a solution. The mediator will facilitate the parties’ endeavour – by asking questions, structuring the discussion, and helping the parties record what they can and what they cannot agree to.
