Model Mediation Clause
A Mediation clause within a commercial agreement gives parties the opportunity to resolve disputes through mediation as an alternative to Court litigation or Arbitration.
Mediation can also be used in combination with Arbitration and litigation to identify the issues in contention and then seek legal resolution in an arbitration or court litigation claim.
It is important to ensure the dispute resolution clauses drafted within a commercial agreement are not dysfunctional or inconsistent which can have significant consequences for the parties in the event of a dispute.
Several dispute resolution institutions such as CEDR, CIArb, and Pro-mediate have developed their own model clauses for use within commercial agreements, below are examples of model clauses to be used within commercial contracts using English law and in International agreements using the institution’s services to assist with venue and finding suitable mediators on their panels to facilitate the dispute.
