This time it's all about commercial mediation and the role it currently plays in commercial disputes.

It's better to reach an inexpensive settlement now than to have to go to court later at great expense and exhaustion.

Business mediation for Jörg Risse is mediation for a conflict that would otherwise have to or would be decided by a civil judge. This eliminates all disputes that would otherwise be decided in court by a family court judge, labour court judge or administrative judge. It belongs to the category Negotiation mediationmediation, in which an independent third party optimises the negotiation, is generally more past-oriented, fact-based, legally sound, tends to be more sober and involves fewer relationship problems and emotional charges. The core idea of mediation is particularly clearly recognisable here: support for the parties to the conflict to negotiate better and thus overcome the obstacles and obstacles to negotiation.
