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.
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.

Legal Framework
The EBRD through its Legal Transition Programme has implemented projects to establish a robust alternative dispute resolution framework in Moldova. The initiative has been supported by the United Kingdom's Good Governance Fund and USAID. Implemented in close partnership with the Ministry of Justice and the Mediation Council, with assistance from CEDR and IDLO. The new Law on Mediation and the Status of Mediator was published on 12 March 2026 and will be implemented on 12 September 2026, replacing the previous Mediation Law of 2015. This is enacted legislation with a future effective date. The law introduces mandatory mediation for civil disputes worth up to 50 average salaries in the economy, as well as family disputes related to parental rights and other disputes between spouses or family members, with exceptions for family violence and divorce cases. Labor disputes are exempted from the fee for the first mediator's session. The law establishes the Union of Mediators to supervise mediation quality and requires mediators to be licensed and participate in annual professional training.
While Moldova 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 court process in Moldova can be unpredictable and slow, creating incentive for ADR adoption. The Ministry of Justice and Mediation Council work to integrate mediation into the justice system. Under the new law, parties will only be able to bring a case to court after attending at least one mediation session for certain types of disputes. To encourage amicable settlement, the state fee is reduced by 25% if parties have attended a mediation session before filing a court application, even if it ended without settlement. The law provides for installment payment of state duty and conditions for refund in certain ratios if dispute is resolved through mediation.
Mediator Regulations
The new Law on Mediation and the Status of Mediator requires mediators to be licensed. Starting 12 September 2026, obtaining a license to practice as a mediator becomes mandatory. The license is issued by the Ministry of Justice for an indefinite term upon payment of a fee of 450 lei. The license form is a strictly accountable document ensuring individualization and confirmation of legal basis for issuance. Mediators must be licensed, participate annually in professional training, and respect strict ethical standards. The Union of Mediators will coordinate mediator activity at national level, ensure compliance with professional ethics and discipline, and manage initial and continuous training. Currently only a mediator's certificate is issued based on qualifying exam results.
Cultural Approach
The win-win attitude toward dispute resolution is being promoted through international assistance. Businesses increasingly recognise mediation as a way to avoid litigation's damaging effects on relationships, reputations, and finances. The coronavirus pandemic highlighted the value of ADR as courts functioned at lower capacity. Cultural acceptance is growing through awareness and successful case examples.
Typical Costs
Mediation promoted as cost effective alternative to litigation. Professional mediator fees generally range from MDL 500-2,000 per hour for commercial mediation. Specific fee structures determined by mediator agreements and institutional practices. International support from EBRD, USAID, and GGF may provide funding for ADR implementation. Court fees and litigation costs avoided through successful mediation.
