WHAT IS MEDIATION?
In mediation, parties try to reach a solution together under the guidance of a neutral, independent mediator. The mediator provides a confidential environment in which each party feels free to talk about what divides them. Everyone’s views, needs, concerns and wishes are brought to the table and carefully reconciled. Dutch Mediators helps to normalize communication again, allowing parties to come out of it together and regain peace of mind and trust and each other.

5 BENEFITS OF MEDIATION
Snel en kostenefficiënt
Mediation leidt sneller en goedkoper tot een passende oplossing dan een procedure. Het is mogelijk om binnen enkele sessies een totaaloplossing te bereiken voor een geschil waarover anders jarenlang over geprocedeerd moeten worden.
Regie over proces
Bij mediation hebben partijen zelf controle over het proces en de uitkomst. Je bent niet afhankelijk van de rechter. Dat geeft ruimte voor creatieve oplossingen met oog op de toekomst.
Vertrouwelijk
Mediation is vertrouwelijk. Hierdoor kan vrij worden gesproken, zonder angst voor negatieve gevolgen. Dit creëert een open en eerlijk gesprek waardoor de kans op een succesvolle oplossing groter wordt.
Duurzame oplossing
Omdat gekeken wordt naar specifieke wensen en belangen van alle partijen, is de oplossing vaak effectief, toekomstbestendig en wordt deze geaccepteerd door alle partijen.
Minder stress
Onderzoek wijst uit dat een mediation procedure minder stress met zich mee brengt dan een procedure bij de rechtbank.
THE MEDIATION PROCESS
Individual talks and first plenary session
In the first stage, the mediator speaks with both parties separately. These talks are, of course, confidential. If the parties opt for mediation, they receive a draft agreement on confidentiality and voluntary participation that is discussed and signed at the first plenary session.
Conducting conversations
During the plenary talks, parties are given the opportunity to explain what divides them. Positions are explained, putting mutual interests on the table. An environment is created in which there is room to listen to each other’s stories. This component contributes to mutual understanding and ultimately leads to finding appropriate solutions.
Exploring solutions
After all points of view have been discussed and interests have been inventoried, the mediator gives the parties the opportunity to explore solutions together. The intention here is that parties, within the framework of self-determination, explore and decide for themselves which solution suits them best. The parties are not bound until the solutions are put on paper and signed by them.
Negotiate
In this phase, the parties negotiate the proposed solutions and try to reach an agreement. The mediator assists in finding compromises that are acceptable to both parties.
Laying down agreements in a settlement agreement
If desired, agreements can be recorded in a settlement agreement. Parties can consult their own legal advisor to advise them on this.
COSTS
Mediation leads to an appropriate solution faster and cheaper than litigation. It is possible to reach a total solution within a few sessions for a dispute that would otherwise require years of litigation. Parties are in control and can end the process at any time.
Offer
Dutch Mediators currently has an advantageous offer for an entire mediation process for a fixed amount per session. Of course you can also choose to go through the process on the basis of an hourly rate. Parties are in control and can end the process at any time.

PRE-MEDIATION
In addition to mediation, Dutch’s mediators also specialize in assisting with pre-mediation. Both startups and existing companies make extensive use of pre-mediation. Where people work together a lot, it is especially important to discuss needs, expectations and goals. After all, you are going to be working together for a longer term. The goal of preventive mediation is to “set the clocks right” before or during a collaboration. To proactively go through important issues. Discussing the most important elements of a collaboration one or more times in the preliminary phase. It leads to mutual understanding and connection. This increases the chances of success of the collaboration and reduces the likelihood of failure, dismissal or conflict.
Invest in a fruitful and long-term cooperation.
