The conflict management structure provided by our specialists facilitates:

- the successful implementation of the resolution procedure and
- the lawful implementation of the outcome of negotiations.
One of the most important methods of dispute resolution outside the courts is mediation. The essential task of a mediator is to provide structural assistance with the negotiation process and to direct the negotiations in a constructive way using various techniques such as questioning and individual discussions with the parties. The mediator does not however make a decision on the matter in question. The outcome of the negotiations is determined by the parties.
The Conflict Management Team at Taylor Wessing is made up of qualified commercial mediators who can take on the role of mediator in addition to their usual services as a legal advisor.
