Mediation is an effective method that ensures the resolution of disputes between parties in a fast, flexible, and often less costly manner. However, knowing some basic points before starting the process helps you achieve a more efficient and healthy result.
1. Voluntariness is Essential The mediation process is based on the voluntary participation of the parties. Parties can start, maintain, or terminate the process whenever they wish.
2. Impartiality and Independence The mediator does not take the side of any party. They manage the process fairly and ensure that both parties have an equal right to speak.
3. Principle of Confidentiality Information shared during the mediation process is confidential. This allows parties to communicate more openly and comfortably.
4. Fast and Economic Solution Compared to court processes, results can be obtained in a much shorter time. At the same time, costs are generally lower.
5. Flexible Process Structure There are no rigid rules in mediation. The process can be shaped according to the needs of the parties.
6. Win-Win Approach The goal is not for one party to win, but to find a common solution that both parties can accept.
7. Legal Bindingness The agreement document prepared when the parties reach an agreement can become legally binding when the necessary conditions are met.
