Your partner in mediation

Conflict costs a lot of energy, money and time. For all parties. Increasingly, mediation is being used to resolve conflicts out of court. In mediation, parties search for a solution together, under the professional guidance of a neutral mediator.

What does mediation entail?

Mediation is often significantly faster and cheaper than legal proceedings, while more customization is often possible. On average, a mediation process takes one to four sessions (averaging two - three hours), depending on what and how much is at stake. A first mediation session can usually be scheduled within two weeks.

The success rate of a mediation is high. More (creative) solutions are possible than in legal proceedings, where the outcome depends on what the judge thinks about something and not what is important to the parties. Because parties themselves determine what the solution looks like, there is also more satisfaction among the parties and there is a longer shelf life regarding the outcome of the mediation process, a win-win situation.

When should you engage a mediator?

A mediator can be called in for different types of conflicts. These include:

Labor disputes
Business disputes
Divorce and family disputes
Neighborhood disputes
Conflicts between partners or associates

In principle, all parties willing to work together to find a solution can use mediation.

What is our working method?

During a mediation process, our mediators work as follows:

Intake interview: in this interview, the ground rules of mediation are explained, the cause of the conflict is discussed, interests are inventoried and if possible already possible options are discussed, in preparation for the joint mediation sessions.
Sessions: in the joint talks, under the mediator's guidance, parties look at the past, present and future; interests and needs are inventoried and possible solutions are explored. In the mediation talks, attention is not only paid to the conflict, but also to "people" and the impact the dispute has on the parties. Attention is paid to communication and the relationship between the parties and patterns that emerge therein. The goal is to achieve mutual understanding and to make the participants "negotiable" again so that space is created for solutions.
Conclusion: in principle an outline report is made of each meeting. In the case of divorces and separations, the report also contains an explanation of the legal consequences. When an agreement is reached, the mediator records the outlines of the agreements in a report or (in the case of divorces and separations) elaborates and records them in a covenant (agreement).

What is the hourly rate of our mediators?

The cost of engaging a mediator can vary. A mediator's fee is often calculated by the hour. The exact cost depends on several factors, such as the experience and specialization of the mediator and the complexity of the conflict. We strive for transparency and fairness in our pricing.
