Mediation, as one of the alternatives - out-of-court ways to resolve disputes (which is provided among others in the Lawyers Code - L. 4194/2013 no. 35 paragraph 3), can be applied in a wide range of civil and commercial cases.
It is a structured process based on features of confidentiality and private autonomy in which the parties attempt voluntarily, and with the assistance of a mediator to resolve their dispute through a mutually and common acceptable agreement.
Excluded are the cases of disputes under public law, as well as disputes under private law, for which must appeal to courts.
