Sincerely involved
Since 1998 we have been trying to make the world a better place by helping resolve and prevent conflicts. We bring people into conversation again, we advise, we train and we mediate.
We enable people and organizations to grow conflict-capable by harnessing the power of conflict: improving mutual understanding makes cooperation effective. This reinforces the innovative power of organizations and reduces absenteeism.
Welcome to Result Mediation.
This is our method
When you approach us with a business dispute, our case management will put you in contact with a mediator. The mediator will contact you and the other parties involved to analyze the situation. The mediator maps out who is involved, what is going on and what has happened so far.
Business disputes include:
- Problems between shareholders or directors and shareholders
- Disputes about the implementation of a contract between legal entities
- Problems in a partnership
In a business dispute with major interests, it is essential that all interested parties are involved (to the extent necessary) and that there is sufficient mandate on all sides to come to solutions. The mediator discusses this with the parties involved.
The result of the mediation is recorded in a settlement agreement. Depending on the type of agreements, these can be ratified in an even more formal form (notarial deed, judgment).
As a result of the analysis, the mediator makes a process proposal and the corresponding offer. After approval, the process starts. When many stakeholders are involved, multiple mediators can be put forward. Various options can be offered in the process proposal.
When a situation is stuck, the mediator will look for movement with you and the other people involved. This requires an effort and creativity from all involved. New options arise from this process. The mediator checks with you whether there are acceptable options for both parties and negotiates the result.
In some situations a solution is not likely to be reached because there are different opinions about the answer to a legal issue. Both parties make an assessment of their case before the court and thereby arrive at such divergent results that this leads to a stalemate. In those situations we can ask a (former) judge to give a pre-court assessment.
The judge concerned then gives his view on the legal issue. This can be in the form of a no-obligation or binding advice.

Employment mediation
A employment mediation usually takes 4 to 6 weeks. Two conversations are usually conducted during this period. And coordination can take place via e-mail or telephone. Our employer mediators spend an average of 10 hours per mediation.
Business mediation
The duration of a business mediation is difficult to determine in advance. This can happen very quickly, for example when a lawsuit is planned and parties want to find a solution in mediation before that time. But it can also take longer if many parties are involved in the mediation and careful, formal decision-making has to take place. At the start of the process, the mediator makes an estimate of the hours to be spent.
Employment Mediation
This question is often less important than resolving the situation. The definition of a labor dispute is: “two parties, within the boundaries of a labor organization, have a labor dispute if at least one of the parties believes that the other party is obstructing or annoying her. This can be on content of work, labor relations, working conditions or working conditions “. In the mediation we talk about a “matter” or a “situation”.
Business Mediation
Here too, the question of whether or not there is conflict is less important than finding a solution to the situation. When a business relationship gets stuck and too much negative energy is created, a mediator will provide movement. This creates clarity and a picture of the future that all involved can continue to use.
The hourly rate of the mediator is between € 200 and € 350, depending on the type of conflict and the mediator involved. In an employment mediation, the mediator spends an average of 10 hours. For business mediations, the mediator makes an hourly estimate prior to the mediation.
Employment Mediation
Almost all employment mediations are paid by the employer. Under Dutch law the employer is responsible for the working conditions and the associated costs. A labor dispute is considered part of this. It is however also possible for the employee to share in the cost.
Business Mediation
In business mediations, the costs are generally shared by the parties involved. Agreements are made about this before the mediation starts.
It is not possible to provide a detailed statement of costs in general, because every arbitration is tailor-made. Costs for the arbitration include in any case the hours that are made by the Result ADR secretariat for handling the arbitration and the fees of the arbitrator and of the registrar. Any additional costs are the costs of any witnesses and experts. The costs for an arbitration are generally higher than legal proceedings.
If you are considering arbitration, you can contact us and receive a cost estimate for your specific dispute – without obligation.
Feasibility study
You can always get a free telephone feasibility study with one of our mediators. The mediator will then discuss the situation with you and discuss the options he sees. If the mediator thinks that mediation is not a good option, he will say so and you will not be charged for teh conversation.
