Dispute Management and Mediation
In modern legal systems, resolving disputes increasingly relies not only on court proceedings but also on faster, more economical, and constructive methods. Dispute Management and Mediation offer effective ways for individuals and organizations to save time and resources. At Sayın Hukuk, our specialized team focuses on resolving disputes peacefully and sustainably, both before and outside of litigation.
What is Mediation?
Mediation is an alternative dispute resolution method where an existing or potential conflict is resolved through negotiation, facilitated by a neutral and independent third party (mediator). It is often used in commercial disputes, labor conflicts, rental agreements, consumer issues, insurance claims, debt, and compensation cases. Mediation saves time and helps preserve relationships before resorting to litigation.
What is Dispute Management?
Dispute Management is a comprehensive process aimed at preventing legal conflicts or resolving existing disputes before they escalate. This process is not limited to mediation; it includes negotiations, preventive contracts, risk analysis, legal consultancy, and settlement discussions.
At Sayın Hukuk, we identify strategic steps to protect our clients’ interests and provide long-term solutions, focusing not only on winning cases but also on managing crises before they escalate and maintaining sustainable business relationships.
When is Mediation Mandatory?
In Turkey, mediation has become a precondition for certain disputes. In these cases, the mediation process must be conducted before filing a lawsuit:
- Employee-employer disputes (reinstatement, severance and notice pay, overtime, etc.)
- Commercial disputes (claims, contractual breaches, etc.)
- Consumer disputes
- Rental and partnership dissolution cases (in specific situations)
At Sayın Hukuk, we provide guidance during the mediation process and manage it from start to finish on your behalf. Our team, experienced in negotiation techniques, develops effective solutions that protect your interests during discussions with the other party.
Why Mediation?
- Faster: While court proceedings may take months or years, mediation typically concludes within a few weeks.
- More economical: It costs significantly less compared to litigation expenses.
- Confidential: Mediation is private; information shared between parties does not become public.
- Mutually beneficial: The resolution comes from the joint will of the parties, not the judge, so both sides benefit.
- Preserves relationships: Trust between parties, especially in business, family, or commercial relations, can be restored.
