Mediation is an alternative dispute resolution method aimed at resolving disputes between parties without resorting to litigation, with the assistance of a neutral and independent mediator. This process enables the parties to reach a mutually acceptable solution based on their own will.

The mediation process includes identifying the issues in dispute, listening to the parties’ positions, and evaluating possible settlement options. The process is conducted under the principle of confidentiality, and statements made during mediation are generally not admissible in court proceedings.

Mediation may be applied in various legal fields, particularly family, labor, commercial, tenancy, and consumer disputes. In certain types of disputes, mediation is regulated as a mandatory step prior to initiating legal proceedings.

Mediation activities are carried out in accordance with applicable legislation and professional standards, with the aim of ensuring a balanced and structured resolution process.
