Mediation
Together to a solution

Mediation, together at the table in a positive atmosphere
Mediation is maximum direction for a good outcome
In SMEs, the work is hard. There is usually no time for proper communication. As a result, intentions or expectations of each often remain unspoken. That can make things tense between partners, family members, customers, suppliers or staff members. Tensions that also have a big impact in private. If those involved then choose mediation, they have maximum control over a good outcome.
Mediation is also commonly used in divorce. The decision to end the relationship is usually preceded by a long period of time. With many emotions, arguments and worries about how to proceed. Through mediation, this difficult period can be kept short, after which everyone can focus her/his energy on the future.
The mediator creates a confidential and positive climate for conversation. In that atmosphere, parties can more easily talk to each other and make their interests clear. As a result, mutual understanding increases, discussions run more smoothly and with the end result: a sustainable solution.

ICT Law
In the field of ICT law, there is a broad enumeration of points that entrepreneurs should keep a close eye on in the legal field.
Corporate Law
Anyone starting a business will need to get their legal affairs right beforehand, especially if there are multiple owners . If the business has been running for a while, then an update is advisable, a 'legal MOT'.
Spatial Planning
The possibilities for use that an entrepreneur wants for his business location sometimes do not correspond with the (zoning) plans that a municipality has for a certain area. Timely and appropriate action is then called for.
Mediation
When the chips are down between the parties, using a mediator often leads to a more appropriate, quicker and cheaper solution than going to court.
