THE INTERNATIONAL MEDIATION CENTRE

 

The International Mediation Centre constitutes a platform for out-of-court dispute resolution, which is available for all entrepreneurs especially members of the International Chambers of Commerce in Poland. The International Mediation Centre’s objectives are to facilitate conducting a business activity in Poland, including assistance in out-of-court commercial dispute resolution and the introduction and promotion of the best standards related to out-of-court commercial dispute resolution.

 

Initiators of this venture are the International Chambers of Commerce and Ewelina Stobiecka, PhD, who is a mediator, a lawyer and the Managing Partner in TaylorWessing e|n|w|c in Warsaw and the Coordinator of the International Mediation Centre.

 

The declaration of establishment of the International Mediation Centre was signed by the British-Polish Chamber of Commerce, the French Chamber of Commerce, the Polish-Spanish Chamber of Commerce, the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Poland, as well as the Belgian Chamber of Commerce. The project is also supported by the Ministry of Economy. Partner of the International Mediation Centre is Lower Silesian Chamber of Commerce.

 

The International Mediation Centre is unique in that it provides entrepreneurs the opportunity to conduct mediation in numerous languages both on a local and international level; a list of mediators has been created and is continuously being updated. The mediators are experts in particular industries, who conduct mediation in various languages and have the theoretical background and practical experience, as well as extensive knowledge of cultural context.

***

 

A mediation clause is an important element of any contract.

We encourage the inclusion of mediation clause in agreements:

Any dispute which results from such an agreement or which are connected, can be settled amicably by the International Mediation Centre at the International Chambers of Commerce in Poland.

If the parties cannot reach a settlement through a mediation proceeding within 60 days from the filing of the motion for mediation or other term agreed in written form by the parties, each party can file a case to the appropriate court.
