What is Mediation?

What is Mediation?

Mediation is an alternative dispute resolution method that enables parties to resolve conflicts quickly, efficiently, and confidentially without resorting to court proceedings, with the help of a neutral third party (mediator). It is regulated under the Law on Mediation in Civil Disputes No. 6325.

🔄 How Does the Mediation Process Work?

  1. Application: Mediation begins upon the request of one of the parties.
  2. Initial Meeting: Separate or joint meetings are held with the parties to identify the scope of the dispute.
  3. Negotiation: Constructive discussions take place to generate mutually agreeable solutions.
  4. Outcome: If an agreement is reached, a written settlement is issued. This document carries the force of a court decision.

🔧 Mandatory vs. Voluntary Mediation

  • Mandatory Mediation: A legal prerequisite in commercial, labor, and consumer disputes before initiating a lawsuit.
  • Voluntary Mediation: A solution-oriented approach initiated by the parties’ free will.

Advantages of Mediation

  • Fast Resolution: Achieves results much quicker than court proceedings.
  • 📈 Cost-Effective: Lower cost; no court fees, expert, or witness expenses.
  • 🔒 Confidentiality: All discussions remain private, protecting reputations.
  • Party Autonomy: The decision is made by the parties, not by a judge.
