Why mediation?

• Mediation is pragmatic and both cost- and time efficient.
• Business-like solutions by the parties themselves, instead of legal adjudication.
• Agreements reached by the parties are binding.
• The mediator helps to separate the emotional from the legal and commercial aspects. 
• Mediation is interest based. What is it really about?
• Mediation concentrates on the future, not on the past.
• The mediator speaks confidentially with each party separately and then may see opportunities for a settlement.
• Avoidance of further escalation .
• If ending of a business relationship is unavoidable, that can be done carefully and respectfully;
• When parties do not reach agreement, the path to court proceedings or arbitration remains open.
