Mediation and Arbitration

Mediation, arbitration and other forms of alternative dispute resolution can be a suitable way to resolve disputes where parties seek a more efficient, confidential or commercially sustainable framework than classic court proceedings.

The firm advises clients on assessing whether a specific dispute is suitable for mediation, negotiation or arbitration, prepares them for the procedure and participates in shaping settlements, arbitration clauses and other contractual solutions. In commercial relations it is particularly important to agree the dispute resolution mechanism in advance, as such a clause can significantly affect later proceedings. Alternative dispute resolution does not exclude the need for clear legal analysis. Sound preparation of facts, evidence, risks and the client’s interest is often a prerequisite for meaningful mediation, negotiation or arbitral proceedings.

The approach is based on assessment of the client’s interests, risks and evidentiary position. The aim is not merely to close a dispute formally but to achieve a legally sustainable and enforceable solution.
