Mediation

Agreement
instead of litigation.

We resolve disputes faster, at lower cost, and with less emotional toll. Confidentially. Voluntarily. Legally binding.

Negotiation

Preparation
that gives you the edge.

We support you in difficult conversations – from strategy to coaching to a seat at the table.

Who it's for

Two different services. One goal.

A mediator and a negotiator are not the same thing. Here's how to choose the right help for your situation.

Mediation

You are two parties in a dispute

The mediator is neutral – stands between the parties, not on either side. Enables dialogue. The parties create the solution. The result is legally binding.

  • Asset division after divorce
  • Dispute with neighbour or residents' association
  • Conflict between business partners
  • Dispute with contractor or investor
  • Employment dispute – employer and employee
  • Inheritance dispute within a family

Negotiation

You have an important conversation ahead

The negotiator is on your side. Helps prepare strategy, be present at the table, or – if you need – lead the conversation on your behalf.

  • Contract or commercial agreement negotiation
  • Partner exit – terms and conditions
  • Difficult conversation with a key supplier or client
  • Property or business purchase or sale
  • Restructuring terms of cooperation
  • When emotions could cost you the outcome

Key difference: the mediator is neutral to both parties – they represent nobody. The negotiator works solely on your side. Not sure which you need? First 30 minutes are free.

Frequently asked

Before you write – check the answers

Mediation is a voluntary meeting of parties with a neutral mediator – no courtrooms, no dockets, no externally imposed judgment. The parties create the solution themselves. The mediator facilitates the conversation, not the outcome. The result – if parties agree – carries the legal weight of a court settlement.

Mediation applies to family disputes (asset division, maintenance, child contact), business disputes (inter-company conflicts, partner separations), construction, neighbour, employment disputes and many more. If you're unsure – call. The first 30 minutes are free.

Types of mediation →

Yes – mediation is voluntary and requires consent from both parties. However, the other party's initial reluctance need not be the end. We can help prepare an invitation to mediation that increases the chance of a yes. Sometimes one conversation is enough.

Typically a matter of weeks, not years. A typical mediation involves 2–4 sessions spaced days or weeks apart. Dates are set with you, not by a court. For comparison: the average civil case in Polish courts takes 2–4 years.

Mediation does not close the door to court. If the parties don't reach agreement, you can file a claim exactly as you planned. You lose no rights. What's more – even an unsuccessful mediation often helps parties better understand each other's positions, shortening any subsequent court proceedings.

Yes. A settlement reached in mediation and approved by a court carries the force of a court judgment (Art. 183¹⁵ CPC). It can be given an enforcement clause – meaning it acts as an enforcement title. This is not a gentlemen's agreement – it is real legal protection.
