Is mediation suitable for your situation?
We first assess not “who is right”, but whether there is room for agreement.
There is a shared interest in settlement
Both parties want a workable solution rather than simply establishing a winner and a loser.
Several solutions are possible
The dispute allows different settlement options: terms of use, timing, payments, licensing or changes in the parties’ conduct.
Confidentiality matters
The parties do not want details of the conflict, negotiations, technology or commercial terms to become public.
The relationship is ongoing
After settlement, the parties need to preserve the possibility of cooperation, contract performance or continued market interaction.
