Arbitration and Mediation Institute of the Filipino (AMIF)

The Arbitration and Mediation Institute of the Philippines (AMIF) is an organization dedicated to promoting and improving alternative dispute resolution in the Philippines. Arbitration is a process where a neutral third party makes a decision to resolve a conflict, while mediation involves a facilitator helping both parties negotiate a mutually agreeable solution. AMIF supports these methods to provide faster and less expensive ways to settle disputes compared to going to court. It also focuses on training and awareness to enhance the skills of professionals in these fields and to encourage their use in various sectors of society.
