Mediation and arbitration
Conflicts arise time and again in the world of work, many of which are settled in court. Alternative methods of conflict resolution, such as mediation and arbitration, are becoming increasingly popular.
Depending on the individual case, these can bring about an agreement in a much more speedy and cost-effective way that is furthermore supported by both opponents and thus resolves the conflict permanently.
Mediation is a voluntary and confidential process in which a mediator acts as a neutral third party to assist the conflicting parties in finding an amicable solution themselves.
Conciliation is a more formal procedure than mediation. In contrast to the mediator, the conciliator is entitled to issue a recommendation.
Both ways offer effective tools for co-operative conflict resolution in specific circumstances.
We provide support in mediation and arbitration proceedings. Thomas Ubber is happy to assist as a certified mediator.
