Accredited to International Standards

The Olive Branch Company operates under the highest regulatory frameworks in dispute resolution. We are fully accredited by the Civil Mediation Council (CMC) and hold membership with the International Mediation Institute (IMI), ensuring world-class standards of practice, ethics, and neutrality in every mediation we conduct.

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.

You get the rigorous, emotionally intelligent dispute management we are known for, perfectly paired with the exact sector expertise your case requires.

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.

Rather than simply managing the mechanics of a meeting, we provide the context required to reach a result that is both fair and workable within your specific circumstances.

Legal Framework

Chile has a well developed ADR framework with Law No. 19.971 regulating international commercial arbitration. One of its main features is the limited judicial intervention of domestic courts over arbitration proceedings, which means that remedies and grounds to challenge a foreign arbitral award are very limited. Article 34 of this Law establishes the motion for annulment as the only method for setting aside an award, prohibiting parties from using other remedies typically applied in domestic procedures. Therefore, there is a high level of judicial deference for international arbitration, and Chile is considered a highly reliable seat of international arbitration. Law No. 21.044 requires that disputes related to public concessions be arbitrated before a technical expert panel first, and then before an arbitral tribunal. The Civil Procedure Code (article 3° bis) establishes that both judges and parties must promote ADR as mechanisms of dispute resolution. There are matters where there is mandatory mediation before entering court litigation, such as claims brought by patients against health providers or consumer or labor law.

While Chile 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

The Civil Procedure Code establishes that both judges and parties must promote ADR as mechanisms of dispute resolution. In civil proceedings, there is a mandatory conciliation hearing. The Code encourages recourse to ADR during judicial proceedings before Chilean courts. Parties often include mediation in their agreements and arbitration clauses, which are legally binding and enforceable.

Cultural Approach

The use of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms in Chile has increased greatly in the last few years. Parties often include mediation in their agreements and arbitration clauses, which are legally binding and enforceable. At the same time, Chilean law has progressively incorporated opportunities for compulsory ADR, especially mediation, as a way to promote amicable solutions between parties and avoid court litigation.

Typical Costs

ADR mechanisms increased greatly in recent years. Professional mediator fees generally range from CLP 50,000-200,000 per hour for commercial mediation. CAM Santiago provides institutional fee schedules. Mandatory mediation for health, consumer, and labor disputes may have subsidized costs. High judicial deference supports efficient processes.
