What is mediation? Simply put, mediation is the negotiation between disputing parties, assisted by a neutral party. While it is not empowered to impose a settlement, the mediator’s presence allows the parties to understand each party’s position on the matter in dispute and better resolve their conflict. DRC has helped resolve disputes worth millions of dollars, and we strive to counsel and educate our members to prevent and resolve disputes through our informal mediation process.
I’ve been following DRC’s work since 2014, and it’s been amazing to see all the developments and the impact the DRC continues to make in promoting fair and efficient dispute resolution practices. When I contributed my comments and suggestions to the Zero Draft of the UNIDROIT Legal Guide on Contract Farming, I had the DRC in mind as a model of success. It’s wonderful to see the continued growth and influence of such a valuable organization! Looking forward to following DRC’s future work.
