Mediation as a Conflict Resolution Tool

Yes, mediation is only possible if both parties voluntarily participate. No one can be forced into it. If the other person refuses, there are alternative ways to resolve the conflict – we are happy to advise you on your options.

Not every mediation leads to an agreement. If no resolution is found, other options, such as legal action, can be considered. However, mediation often helps clarify misunderstandings and improve communication between the parties.

Yes, especially in intense conflicts, mediation can provide a structured framework for dialogue. Mediators ensure that both sides are heard and that the conversation remains respectful. The key is that both parties are willing to engage in the process.

The duration depends on the complexity of the conflict. Some mediations are resolved in just a few sessions, while others take longer. In the initial discussions, we will determine together how much support is needed to reach a sustainable solution.

Mediation itself is not legally binding. However, if an agreement is reached, it can be documented in a written contract. Depending on the content, this agreement may be legally enforceable. We can provide guidance on what this means for your situation.
