What is business mediation?
Business mediation is mediation in disputes in the business world. This may mean a dispute between different companies but it can also mean disputes between companies and private individuals as customers. The concept of business mediation, besides referring to external company disputes, also includes alternative conflict resolution of in-company disputes such as conflicts between employers and employees or conflicts between co-owners. The spectrum of conflicts resolved with the aid of business mediation lies within the entire range of commercial and/or commercial law disputes. Besides business mediation there is also, to take an example, family mediation (for conflicts in marriage and the family, in case of divorce and for family law issues), school mediation (mediation of conflicts in schools), environmental mediation (for conflicts in environmental law, in the field of public law) as well as the concept of perpetrator-victim reconciliation which seeks to establish reconciliation and
