Interest mediation

Interest mediation is a process where a neutral third party helps conflicting parties find common ground and reach an agreement by addressing their underlying interests or needs. Unlike bargaining over positions, interest mediation focuses on understanding the reasons behind each party's stance, facilitating open communication, and exploring mutually beneficial solutions. This approach aims to resolve disputes efficiently, promoting cooperation and sustainable agreements without resorting to litigation. The mediator guides the dialogue, ensures fairness, and helps both sides see the benefits of compromise.
