BUSINESS MEDIATION
The Legal Department of the Romanian American Business Council, Inc. in New York supports Romanian and American companies in out-of-court settlements.
Mediation – An Alternative to Litigation
Business often involves conflict, but also allows different possibilities of conflict resolution. Besides legal proceedings held in a state court, business mediation is a good way to efficiently settle disputes between business partners, clients or among employees. It is also cost-effective and can uphold the positive company image.
Mediation proceedings can be conducted at any stage of a conflict, even if court proceedings are already pending. During mediation, with the support of a neutral third party (the mediator), conflicting parties voluntarily attempt to find an amicable resolution to a conflict.
Mediation allows both parties to resolve a conflict quickly and to get back to business.
