Mediation

Mediation is a conciliatory way of resolving disputes without the need to go to court. The mediator is an independent and impartial person facilitating communication between the parties with the aim of achieving an agreement acceptable for both parties. In the mediation process, each party has an opportunity to express its standpoint, and subsequently I, as mediator, discuss the matter with them individually. Should the parties fail to come to an agreement the mediator will prepare its legal opinion in conformity with the provision of Sec. 8 article 2 of the Mediation Act no. 202/2012 Sb. It is an independent and non-binding opinion giving the parties a third party´s insight for their consideration about how to proceed with the legal matter.

The biggest benefit of mediation is its effectiveness and the ability to settle (even for the future) human or business relations, and very often resolve problems in broader terms.
