Out-of-court conflict resolution

Alternative conflict resolution methods are a real option for a variety of case scenarios.

 

But not every method of out-of-court conflict resolution is equally suitable for every situation of conflict. It is therefore important to tackle each conflict with the most sensible methodological approach.

 

Out-of-court conflict resolution can be equally useful in resolving disagreements and disputes between individuals and conflicts and impending legal disputes between companies or institutions.

 

Typical areas of application for out-of-court forms of conflict resolution are:

 

• Contractual disputes and conflicts of inheritance law (in particular with joint heirship)

• Conflicts in businesses, companies or institutions of any size under private and public law (multi-party constellations, e.g. between shareholders, between departments or offices, or between managers and/or employees)

• Conflicts between companies and private individuals (e.g. in the case of company mergers or in the context of the termination of cooperation agreements, contract cancellations, etc.)

• Conflicts in apartment owners' associations (within and/or against property management companies or homeowners' associations) and conflicts between neighbours

• Conflicts in the education sector (schools, universities)

• Conflicts in clubs and associations (e.g. sports clubs or professional associations)

• Mediation in juvenile criminal proceedings
