The choice of mediation is discretionary, and one can withdraw at any time. In addition, the sessions are flexible in terms of timing, location, and language, allowing the parties to easily include them in their schedule.
Nothing discussed during the process of mediation can beused in subsequent legal proceedings. Thus, one can discuss personalized agreement rather than imposed solutions.
Parties agree to meet as opposed to being summoned to court for all types of disputes and at any timing- before, during, or after a dispute may happen.
When agreements are settled, parties will be more likely to comply with their terms.

Mediation, if not conducted online, takes place in neutral locations or at our center witht he approval of both parties.
It can start at any time before, during, or after a dispute, whether or not court or arbitration proceedings have already started.
It can be conducted in different languages and with consideration for local practices, culture, and traditions.

Full or Partial settlement: Once the agreement is settled, it should be signed by all parties. In the case of court-referred/ mandatory mediation, the mediator will notify the judge that the matter has been settled.
Note that some disputes may not be resolved leaving recourse to courts or arbitration always open.
The mediation process can be terminated upon request of the parties, if the mediator believes that it will not resolve the dispute, if the Center determines so due to non-compliance.
