Mediation

Mediators at TEN

Conflicts come in many forms: between partners, within families, in the workplace or in business relationships. At TEN Advocaten, we offer mediation as an effective and respectful way to find lasting solutions without the stress and expense of going to court. Our mediators are neutral professionals who understand both the legal and emotional sides of a dispute.

What is mediation?

Mediation is a process where an independent mediator helps two or more parties reach a solution together. It creates a safe environment where everyone can express their views, clarify their interests and work toward an outcome that works for all involved. Because the agreements are made by the parties themselves, they tend to last longer and are easier to follow than decisions imposed by a judge.

Mediator or lawyer?

When dealing with a conflict, you can choose between mediation or legal proceedings with a lawyer. A mediator helps both parties move forward by guiding the conversation without taking sides. A lawyer focuses on defending one person’s legal interests through a formal process.

Mediation is often quicker, less expensive and more focused on preserving relationships. Legal action can be the right step when a conflict requires firm legal intervention. At TEN, we are happy to advise you on which approach fits your situation best.

What types of mediation do we offer at TEN?

Our experienced mediators support people in a variety of situations, including family matters, workplace conflicts and business disagreements. Here are the types of mediation we offer:

Divorce mediation

Separation comes with emotional and practical challenges. Our divorce mediators help you make clear agreements about dividing assets, financial arrangements, alimony and – if children are involved – a solid parenting plan. We guide the process with care and a focus on mutual understanding.

Workplace mediation

Tension at work can easily escalate, whether it’s between colleagues or between employer and employee. Our mediators help resolve workplace disputes in a respectful and constructive way. This may include matters related to sick leave, dismissals, reorganisations or changes in responsibilities. We guide the process with the aim of restoring the working relationship, if possible, and avoiding further conflict.
