Parties benefit from resolving conflicts amicably (and therefore outside the courts). After all, legal proceedings often lead to an irreparable breach in relations, especially in conflicts with people from our immediate environment, such as family, neighbours or colleagues. This can largely be explained by the distant, official and sometimes hostile nature of the procedure. In addition, legal proceedings are expensive and generally take a long time.

During the consultation under the guidance of a mediator, the parties look for an acceptable solution to their conflict together in a calm and serene manner. The entire mediation takes place in complete confidentiality. In other words, everything discussed during the mediation is and remains confidential. This offers parties the opportunity to share, discuss and make proposals and negotiate with each other openly and transparently without this affecting their rights in any subsequent proceedings. In a business context, this offers companies undeniable advantages. The mediator will pay a lot of attention to restoring communication and the relationship between the parties. This ensures that no bridges are blown up and that relations between parties can be maintained in a constructive and positive atmosphere. If the final solution is accepted by both parties, this increases the chances of future compliance and prevents either of them from being left with a bad feeling.

In addition to confidentiality, the speed of mediation is an advantage that should not be underestimated. In contrast to legal proceedings, an accessible and non-formalistic mediation will allow the mediator to organize the discussions quickly. The turnaround time for mediation is far below that of traditional legal proceedings.

Last but not least: mediation is cheaper than legal proceedings. Where the mediator's fees are divided between the parties, the parties can rest assured that the mediator will act for all parties. Parties are free to decide whether or not to be assisted by a lawyer.

Mediation is therefore cheaper, confidential, faster and more pleasant than legal proceedings.
