Resolving conflicts with an accredited mediator

As a professional, you regularly encounter people engaged in conflict. Sometimes legal proceedings are not the best or quickest route. Mediation offers a respectful, efficient, and sustainable approach to conflict, in which the parties reach an agreement themselves under the guidance of an accredited mediator.

What does the Federal Mediation Commission offer?

The Federal Mediation Commission supports you with clear information, practical tools and an up-to-date list of accredited mediators across Belgium. This allows you to refer customers specifically to mediators with the appropriate expertise in family, civil, commercial, or social disputes.

Why refer for mediation?

  • Lasting: higher likelihood of compliance through voluntary agreement.
  • Relationship preservation: resolving conflicts with consideration for everyone involved.
  • Accessible: possibility of receiving free or partly free legal aid (pro bono).
