Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of mediation over court?
Mediation is generally faster, less expensive and allows the parties to maintain control over the outcome, better preserving future relationships through a confidential process.
Does the agreement reached in mediation have legal value?
Yes, when carried out in a public mediation center or by a certified mediator and complying with legal requirements, the agreement can have immediate executive force after approval.
What is voluntary arbitration?
It is a method where the parties agree to submit the decision of the conflict to one or more arbitrators (arbitrators designated for that purpose), whose decision (arbitral award) has the same value as a judicial sentence.
How long does a mediation process take?
The duration depends on the will of the parties and the complexity of the topic, but it is significantly shorter than a judicial process, and can be resolved in a few sessions.
Can I give up mediation halfway through?
Yes, mediation is a voluntary process. Any of the parties can interrupt the process at any time if they consider that their interests are not being protected.
Who are the mediators and arbitrators?
They are independent and impartial professionals, with specific training in conflict resolution, who facilitate dialogue (mediators) or decide the cause (arbitrators).
