Resolving Conflicts through Negotiation

Court proceedings are lengthy, expensive, and often ineffective during subsequent enforcement. Against this backdrop, mediation seeks to resolve conflicts between disputing parties with the help of a neutral third party (mediator), ideally either in advance or during a legal dispute. This out-of-court conflict resolution is not limited to a formal legal perspective but also takes into account the psychological, social, and economic dimensions of each conflict, thereby developing a holistic solution. For professionals in legal advisory roles, particularly lawyers, mediation has long represented an interesting business and activity field. Many legal practitioners have already established themselves in this area of work.
