Most people who have a conflict want to end it as quickly as
possible. Legal procedures take a lot of energy, time and money.
Therefore many people choose an alternative: mediation. The mediator
is a neutral person who helps the parties solve their conflicts
by making joint interests visible. The mediator does not make
decisions for the parties but helps them find a joint base for
a long lasting agreement.
Mediation is only effective if the parties genuinely want to
solve their problem and want to make an effort to succeed. Also
important is that the parties at the mediation are authorised
to sign a binding contract.
Our field of expertise contains these subjects
When parties decide to participate in mediation a first meeting
is usually planned within two weeks. In this meeting the mediator
explains mediation and a mediation contract is signed. Look here
for a standard
mediation contract. Then more meetings take place. When the
mediation succeeds, a legally binding contract is made and - if
needed - sent to the court for confirmation.
If only one party is interested in mediation, we contact the other
and see if he wants to participate.
Our hour rates are variable, depending on the urgency and complicity
of the case and will be discussed at the intake. Clients who can
apply for legal aid pay a reducted fee. Additional costs like
court fees are also charged.
