Mediation
Mediation with years of experience
The general courts can mediate in disputes and petitionary matters. This procedure is called court mediation. Mediation is usually carried out in the district court. Mediation is an alternative to litigation and has many advantages over litigation. Court mediation also includes court mediation of custody disputes, i.e. expert-assisted mediation of custody disputes (so-called follo mediation). Court mediation of custody disputes is often a viable alternative to long and burdensome court proceedings.

Advantages of mediation over litigation
One major advantage of court mediation is the swiftness of the proceedings. You can generally have access to a mediation session much more quickly than to the main hearing in a court case. Another significant advantage is in costs. Mediation is less expensive and more flexible for the parties than a full trial. Furthermore, if a settlement is reached in mediation and confirmed by the court, there is no need for an appeal. Mediation focuses on the needs and interests of the parties and looks forward. The mediator’s job is to help the parties find a solution that both parties can accept, and we will assist in finding one.

We also handle private mediations. Private mediation is an alternative to litigation or arbitration. A private mediator helps the parties to a dispute to find a mutually acceptable solution.
