The problem: breach of contract in companies
Breach of contract is one of the main causes of commercial disputes between companies. It may involve failure to comply with clauses, failure to deliver products, delays in performance, financial defaults, or behavior that does not conform to the signed agreements.
These situations often lead to operational disruptions, financial losses, and tensions with key partners, suppliers, or customers. Timely dispute management is essential to avoid escalations, protect business relationships, and minimize business impacts.
The consequences for companies
When a breach of contract is not resolved quickly, costs to the company increase.
The following may occur:
- delays in projects and deliveries to customers
- increased operating costs
- loss of trust in partnerships
- risk of lengthy and costly legal proceedings
- damage to the company's reputation
These effects compromise business continuity and can weigh on the company's competitiveness.
Why choose mediation
Commercial mediation is an extremely effective tool for managing breaches of contract.
It offers concrete advantages:
- quick times : the dispute can be closed in a few weeks
- absolute confidentiality and brand protection
- much lower costs than a civil lawsuit
- space to find an agreement that is beneficial to both parties
- possibility of preserving or rebuilding the business relationship
Mediation is particularly suitable when companies want a pragmatic, non-confrontational, and future-oriented solution.

Based on this, we will schedule a free 30-minute call with one of our experienced case managers, who speaks the selected language.

If appropriate, you’ll have the option to officially file a request for a First Online Mediation Session and invite the other party to participate.
Once you file the request, our case manager will contact the responding party (by email or phone) to ask if they agree to attend the session.
- If they decline, no further action is taken and there are no additional costs.
- If they accept, ADR Center will appoint a professional mediator (in accordance with our International Mediation Rules) and coordinate the date and time for the online session.
The First Online Mediation Session is a confidential virtual meeting, up to two hours long, where a professional mediator meets both parties to discuss the dispute and possible ways to reach an out-of-court settlement.
The mediator may also use private breakout rooms for separate discussions with each party. All conversations are protected by confidentiality rules under ADR Center’s International Mediation Rules.
After the session, both parties (and their legal advisors, if present) can decide whether to:
- Continue with additional mediation sessions, or
- End the mediation process and consider alternative legal actions.
Parties can attend mediation with their lawyers or have them initiate the process on their behalf.
Lawyers and general counsel can actively support their clients throughout the mediation to ensure legal clarity and assist in reaching agreements.
