Disputes don't always have to go to court

Court proceedings can last for years. Alternative dispute resolution methods – mediation, arbitration and negotiation – provide a faster, cheaper and more discreet outcome that parties control themselves. They are particularly suitable for business disputes where it is important to preserve business relationships.

Mediation vs. Arbitration vs. Court

We help you choose the right method for your dispute.

Mediation

A neutral mediator helps parties reach their own resolution. It's the fastest and cheapest method. The outcome is an agreement that the parties themselves control. Suitable for all types of disputes.

Arbitration

An arbitration court issues a binding decision (arbitration award). Faster than a regular court, discreet, final. Suitable for business and international disputes.

Legal proceedings

Necessary when alternative methods are not.

Frequently Asked Questions – Dispute Resolution

Does a mediation agreement have legal force?

Yes – an agreement reached in mediation can be notarised by a court, and then has the force of a court settlement, meaning it is enforceable like a court judgment.

Can you go to arbitration without an arbitration clause in the contract?

In principle, no – arbitration requires a prior agreement between the parties (an arbitration clause in a contract or a separate arbitration agreement). If there is no clause, the parties can subsequently agree to arbitration by written agreement.

Medijacija je najprihvatljivija za sporove koji se obično javljaju u porodičnim, radnim i komšijskim odnosima, kao i u slučajevima manjih finansijskih potraživanja ili sporova nastalih na osnovu saobraćajnih nezgoda.

Mediation is particularly suitable for business disputes, contract disputes, family disputes (divorce, custody) and disputes between neighbours or business partners where it is important to preserve the relationship or confidentiality.
