Mediation in Investment Disputes

Mediation in investment disputes is a voluntary process where an impartial third party, called a mediator, helps the involved countries or companies reach a mutually acceptable resolution. Instead of going to court, the parties discuss their issues in a guided conversation, aiming to find common ground. Mediation is private, flexible, and usually faster and less costly than arbitration or litigation. It encourages collaboration, preserves business relationships, and allows for creative solutions tailored to the specific situation, making it an effective way to settle disagreements over investments peacefully and efficiently.
