Accredited to International Standards
The Olive Branch Company operates under the highest regulatory frameworks in dispute resolution.

Commercial Mediation with Clarity & Purpose
At The Olive Branch, we specialise in resolving complex conflicts with dignity, fairness, and real world results. Whether it's a commercial contract dispute, a leadership breakdown, or a cross cultural misunderstanding, we create a safe, neutral space where difficult conversations can move forward.
Tailored Expertise, Scaled for Your Dispute
No two disputes are identical, and highly technical conflicts demand specific, localised expertise. At The Olive Branch Company, we combine the personal accountability, agility, and dedicated focus of a boutique practice with the technical reach of a major institution.
While our mediations are led by our core panel, we operate through a leading, trusted network of specialists globally. Where a dispute hinges on highly technical, sector specific legal or structural nuances, such as complex construction parameters, intellectual property boundaries, or intricate corporate M&A frameworks, we engage with vetted industry experts to ensure the most appropriate resolution.
Industry Informed Resolution
Conflict in critical environments requires more than just legal theory, it requires real world battle scars and judicial precision. Our approach is anchored by over 30 years of global commercial leadership combined with a decade of judicial experience. This dual perspective allows us to cut through emotional noise, analyse risk with absolute clarity, and help you engineer strategic, final resolutions that protect both your financial position and your reputation.

Cambodia Mediation Research
Legal Framework
Cambodia has developed an Alternative Dispute Resolution system. The National Authority for Alternative Dispute Resolution (NADR) was established on 2 November 2023 by Royal Decree No. NS/RKT/1123/2381 to provide mediation and conciliation services for civil, commercial, and other disputes based on mutual consent or party request. The National Commercial Arbitration Centre (NCAC) handles commercial disputes through arbitration and mediation. The Arbitration Council resolves labor disputes. Following NADR's establishment, several legal frameworks were enacted in 2024: Decision No. 002 on formalities, procedures, and qualifications of NADR mediators; Decision No. 004 on the statute of NADR mediators dated 29 February 2024; Decision No. 005 on uniforms, logos, and name tags of NADR mediators dated 4 March 2024; Decision No. 006 on the code of ethics and code of conduct of NADR mediators dated 29 March 2024; and Decision No. 007 on formalities and procedures for mediation of NADR dated 19 April 2024. In April 2026, the Ministry of Justice participated in discussions on institutionalizing mediation and strengthening investor-state dispute resolution systems, considering accession to the Singapore Convention on Mediation. The government is scaling up out-of-court dispute resolution mechanisms as part of justice sector reforms under the Pentagonal Strategy.
While Cambodia operates under this legal framework, The Olive Branch's remote mediators bypass local court backlogs by providing swift, confidential, and mutually agreed-upon resolutions online.
Court System
Cambodia's court system operates under civil law principles. The NCAC provides arbitration and mediation outside the court system for commercial disputes. The Arbitration Council resolves labor disputes independently. The relationship between courts and ADR is based on civil law principles. Courts may recognise and enforce arbitral awards. The establishment of NADR indicates court-ADR cooperation.
Mediator Regulations
NADR mediators must be of Khmer nationality, have no criminal record, and possess one of the following qualifications: Bachelor's degree in law or related field with 2 years of relevant experience; Bachelor's degree in other fields with 3 years of relevant experience; or at least 5 years of relevant experience without a degree. Mediators receive training in legal skills and dispute resolution and must adhere to the code of ethics and code of conduct established by the Ministry of Justice. The NCAC maintains professional standards for mediators and arbitrators in commercial disputes. The Arbitration Council has its own mediator standards for labor disputes. Decision No. 004 of 29 February 2024 establishes the statute of NADR mediators, and Decision No. 006 of 29 March 2024 establishes the code of ethics and code of conduct. Decision No. 007 of 19 April 2024 provides formalities and procedures for mediation.
Cultural Approach
Cambodia's cultural approach to ADR reflects its civil law heritage and post conflict context. Negotiation is the most common form of ADR, suggesting cultural preference for direct resolution. The establishment of NCAC and NADR indicates institutional commitment to ADR. The labor dispute resolution through Arbitration Council suggests cultural acceptance of structured ADR.
Typical Costs
The NCAC determines fee structures for commercial arbitration and mediation. The Arbitration Council may have fee structures for labor dispute resolution. The emphasis on ADR as important way to resolve disputes suggests cost effectiveness. Costs are typically shared between parties unless otherwise agreed. NADR may provide guidelines for cost allocation.

Our Mediation Process
The Initial Consultation
We meet with you to understand your situation, what matters to you, and what justice looks like for you. You tell us your story in your own words, and we explain how mediation could help you achieve it.
Preparation and Contextual Review
We prepare thoroughly so you don't have to. We review the relevant information privately, ensuring we understand the full context before bringing everyone together. You'll know what to expect and can prepare for the conversation ahead.
Setting the Environment
We create a confidential space where you can speak freely and be heard on equal terms. You'll have the opportunity to speak directly to those who need to hear your experience, and we ensure everyone is treated with dignity and respect.
The Facilitated Negotiation
We facilitate a dialogue where you can seek accountability and ask for the change you need to see. You remain in control of the outcome while we help craft solutions that fit your specific circumstances rather than applying a standard approach.
Finalising the Resolution
We conclude with a clear agreement that reflects what matters to you. The resolution is shaped by your needs and gives you a practical path forward, with the understanding that the experience of being heard is as important as the outcome itself.
