The solutions offered to litigants by the courts may notbe adapted to today’s business environment.
Mediation and arbitration are alternative dispute resolution methods that are becoming increasingly widespread, in national, regional and international disputes.
Mediation and arbitration are quick, confidential and reliable legal solutions.
In its implementation, mediation is more flexible, with the main objective of respecting the interests of the parties rather than the strict application of appropriate legal rules. In this case, the mediator plays the role of facilitator in the negotiations between the parties.
Arbitration, on the other hand, is more strictly regulated. It involves submitting a dispute, by means of an arbitration agreement or an arbitration clause, to an arbitral tribunal made up of one (1) or three (3) arbitrator(s), who will make the final decision.
