Structured Support for Lasting Settlements
Conciliation at GIMAC offers parties a structured and guided process to resolve disputes without the adversarial nature of court proceedings. Unlike mediation, where the mediator primarily facilitates dialogue, conciliation involves a more proactive role by the conciliator—helping parties identify common ground, suggesting solutions, and working towards a mutually acceptable settlement. The outcome can be formalized into a binding and enforceable agreement, giving parties both flexibility and certainty.
Why Choose Conciliation
- Guided by a Neutral Expert – The conciliator actively proposes settlement options, helping bridge gaps between parties.
- Voluntary & Collaborative – Parties retain control over the process but benefit from structured guidance.
- Confidential & Secure – All discussions remain private, safeguarding sensitive business or personal information.
- Faster than Litigation – Settlements can often be achieved in a fraction of the time required in courts.
- Cost-Effective – Reduces expenses significantly compared to traditional litigation or prolonged arbitration.
- Enforceable Outcomes – Agreements reached can be formalized into binding settlements recognized under law.
