It is not wit­hout reason that we car­ry the “M” for media­ti­on in our name. Espe­ci­al­ly in long-term con­tracts, a good rela­ti­onship bet­ween the par­ties is cru­cial, also after the dis­pu­te reso­lu­ti­on pro­cess. The­r­e­fo­re, dis­pu­tes that pro­du­ce win­ners and losers are often not ide­al. We always ask our­sel­ves and our cli­ents whe­ther for­mal legal pro­cee­dings can be avo­ided or ended through nego­tia­ti­on or media­ti­on. And we also offer to show a con­cre­te way how such an approach could be successful. 

As spe­cia­lists trai­ned and expe­ri­en­ced in media­ti­on, we know the added value of media­ti­on and other alter­na­ti­ve dis­pu­te reso­lu­ti­on pro­ce­du­res. In our many years of prac­ti­ce, we have deve­lo­ped stra­te­gies for over­co­ming dead­lock. For exam­p­le, we have been able to help resol­ving con­trac­tu­al dis­pu­tes and even con­flicts ari­sing from mass actions and anti­trust dis­pu­tes up to a value of seve­ral hundred mil­li­on euros through media­ti­on or “mini trials”.

In our expe­ri­ence, tho­rough pre­pa­ra­ti­on geared to the inte­rests of the par­ties invol­ved is just as important as the sel­ec­tion of a sui­ta­ble media­tor. We know many of the lea­ding per­so­na­li­ties in this field.
