Mediation, in general, is a method to solve conflicts in which the parties involved, through the intervention of an impartial third party, the Mediator, adopt reciprocally satisfactory agreements through dialogue and negotiation.

Corporate mediation, as a method of conflict management, aims to prevent the start of litigation, to put an end to the already initiated litigation or reduce to its scope, making the client save time and money inherent to court proceedings.

Corporate Mediation makes available to companies the necessary tools to resolve conflicts arising within the organization itself or those arising from their relationship with other companies, preserving business relationships and the quality of labour relations with complete confidentiality.

As an example, mediation can be used to solve conflicts between:

i. Company and workers
ii. Company and customers
iii. Company and suppliers
iv. Companies with common interests
v. Companies of the same group
vi. Workers and teams
vii. Management Teams
viii. Departments

Advantages of corporate mediation:

i. Economy: it is less expensive than judicial procedure and arbitration
ii. Speed: the process usually lasts a few months, sometimes even only a few weeks
iii. Communication: helps to regain communication and trust between the parties
iv. Long-term agreements: the solution has been negotiated by the parties to the conflict with mutual interest satisfaction
v. Corporate image: it is not damaged thanks to the confidentiality of the process
