What Is Mediation?

Mediation is a voluntary and confidential process for resolving disputes with the assistance of a neutral third party, known as a mediator. Unlike arbitration, where a decision is imposed by the arbitrator, mediation empowers the parties to reach a mutually acceptable resolution themselves.

In mediation, the disputing parties meet with the mediator to discuss their concerns, interests, and proposed solutions. The mediator facilitates communication and negotiation between the parties, helping them explore options, identify common ground, and work towards a settlement that satisfies everyone involved.

The mediation process with Arbitral Forum is flexible and can be tailored to suit the unique needs of the parties and the nature of the dispute.

The process begins with an introductory session where the mediator outlines the ground rules and sets the tone for constructive dialogue.

During subsequent sessions, the parties have the opportunity to express their perspectives, clarify misunderstandings, and brainstorm potential solutions with the mediator's guidance. Throughout this process, the mediator remains impartial, refraining from imposing decisions or taking sides.

If the parties are able to reach a mutually acceptable agreement, the terms are documented in a written agreement that is binding upon both parties. However, if mediation is unsuccessful, the parties retain the option to pursue other means of dispute resolution, such as arbitration or litigation.
