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.

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.
