Mediation

In daily practice, we all have to confront some type of conflict or litigation sooner or later. Often, the decision in the matter is placed in the hands of a judge or arbitrator or goes to the binding opinion of a consultative body. Nonetheless, the procedures before a judge or arbitrator are expensive, require a lot of time, and have uncertain results.

In daily practice, we all have to confront some type of conflict or litigation sooner or later. Often, the decision in the matter is placed in the hands of a judge or arbitrator or goes to the binding opinion of a consultative body. Nonetheless, the procedures before a judge or arbitrator are expensive, require a lot of time, and have uncertain results. For that reason, in practice, people look for solutions to the conflicts that they face and, with the help of a neutral professional (the mediator), try to find a solution for both parties. The mediation or intervention is voluntarily held. It is certainly voluntary, but not free from commitment. The parties involved are expected to make an effort to really find a solution to their problem.

The advantages of the mediation are that it is fast, simple and flexible. Costs are usually lower, and the parties are directly responsible for the resolution of the conflict. Besides, the mediation is tailored to each case.

In matters of divorce, Gimbrère International Advocaten works closely with mediators and intermediaries who can help and offer their support in this type of conflict resolution.
