Commercial mediation and arbitration
Business disputes don't have to end in years-long litigation. As a broker, I act as an arbitrator or mediator: a neutral third party, expert in commerce, who resolves quickly and confidentially.
Resolution channels
Resolution channels
Commercial arbitration
The parties submit their dispute to the broker as arbitrator; the final award binds everyone just like a court judgment.
Mediation
The broker facilitates dialogue between the parties so they reach an agreement both voluntarily accept, which can be protocolized with public faith.
How the procedure works
How we work
Agreement to go to arbitration
An arbitration clause from the contract or a commitment signed after the dispute arose is used.
Appointment of the arbitrator
The parties choose the broker or appoint them by lot, and the rules and deadlines of the procedure are set.
Arguments and hearings
Each party presents evidence and arguments in agile, private sessions without judicial formalities.
Award or agreement
The arbitrator issues the award that resolves definitively; if it was mediation, the reached agreement is protocolized.
Frequent questions
Frequently asked questions
Is the arbitration award binding?
Yes. The award binds the parties and can be enforced before the courts as if it were a final judgment.
How long does commercial arbitration take?
Proceedings before a broker are typically resolved in weeks or a few months, compared to the years typical of ordinary litigation.
Can I go to mediation even if my contract doesn't have a clause?
Yes. Mediation only requires both parties to be willing to try it; the resulting agreement can be protocolized with public faith to give it enforceability.
