ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION (Arbitration and Mediation)
Litigation has two primary goals, determining the facts of a case and in order to reach a conclusion about which party will prevail, applying applicable law to the facts. Since most of the cases are expensive and lengthy, the need for time and cost savings, efficiency and other similar concerns make alternative ways for resolving disputes necessary like Alternative Dispute Resolution mechanisms such as arbitration and mediation regulated under law systems.

Alternative Dispute Resolution mechanisms allow for flexibility in procedures and who is selected to oversee the dispute. It also allows for greater neutrality, confidentiality and worldwide enforcement under international agreements.

Arbitration has similarities with mediation. Both arbitration and mediation are voluntary and confidential. They also save both parties time and money. Furthermore, neither arbitral proceedings nor mediation proceedings may be used as evidence in litigation, and they both take place in private conference rooms rather than in a public court room.

Arbitration is more common than mediation in Turkey. Unlike mediation, arbitration is an adjudicative process. Like a judge, an arbitrator gives its decision regarding merits of the case. In mediation, parties create their own settlement unlike arbitration. In arbitration, an arbitrator generally imposes a resolution on the parties, within the restrictions regulated under the parties’ agreement.

The International Arbitration Law of 2001, which adopted the New York Convention of 1958 and was based on the UNCITRAL Model Law of Turkey, facilitated the application of arbitral awards.

Tan Law Firm, negotiates with the parties to identify the most advantageous business-oriented solutions, either by pursuing litigation or by alternative dispute resolutions such as arbitration or mediation. Ms. Tan is a professional in Alternative Dispute Resolution procedures.
