"What is Commercial Mediation?"

International commercial mediation is a dispute resolution process where a neutral third party, known as the mediator, helps facilitate discussions between businesses. Unlike litigation, this process aims to reach a mutually agreeable solution to conflicts arising from business transactions, such as breaches of contract or intellectual property disputes. It offers a platform for parties to resolve their disputes without the need to go through complex legal systems.

There are various types of matters that can go to commercial mediation, including contractual disputes, intellectual property disputes, shareholder and partnership conflicts, employment disputes, and consumer protection issues. Other common areas of dispute that may require commercial mediation include construction and engineering projects, as well as trade disputes between businesses.
