Accredited to International Standards

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
Monaco has developed specific mediation legislation across several areas. Sovereign Order no. 10.845 of 1st October 2024 established the High Commissioner for the Protection of Rights and for Mediation ('Haut Commissariat à la protection des droits et à la médiation') under a new legal framework in line with international standards, giving it a new mission to protect the rights of the child and a broader remit to protect rights and freedoms with the power to refer cases to itself. This replaced Sovereign Order no. 4.524 of 30 October 2013. Family mediation was introduced into the Civil Code by Law 1.336 of 12 July 2007 and amended by Law 1.450 of 4 July 2017. Criminal mediation between perpetrator and victim (except domestic violence) is provided in the Code of Criminal Procedure since Law 1.533 of 9 December 2021. Law 1.401 of 5 December 2013 provides that mediation constitutes a cause of suspension of prescription. Law No. 1.561 of 2 July 2024 established the Commission on the Right to be Forgotten and Mediation for access to credit. Sovereign Order No. 11.777 of 13 February 2026 established the composition and functioning of the Commission on the Right to be Forgotten and Mediation.
While Monaco 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 system in Monaco is developing formal ADR integration. The High Commissioner for the Protection of Rights and Mediation may be referred to on an amicable basis and free of charge by any natural or legal person considering they have been the victim of discrimination or violation of rights in dealings with public authorities. The Centre de Médiation et d'Arbitrage de Monaco (CMAM) provides mediation services for commercial disputes. If mediation succeeds, the settlement agreement can be given enforceable force by the court. The use of the Family Mediation Unit during legal proceedings creates a pause in the judiciary process. Judicial mediation is a subject of reflection for the Monegasque Bar Association, with formalisation potentially including suspension of trial for three months to reach amicable settlement.
Mediator Regulations
Specific mediator regulations and certification processes are being developed. The High Commissioner for the Protection of Rights and Mediation operates as an independent public body. The Centre de Médiation et d'Arbitrage de Monaco (CMAM) provides professional mediation services for commercial disputes. The Commission on the Right to be Forgotten and Mediation was established in 2026 for access to credit matters. Legal practitioners participate in mediation processes. Monaco maintains developing mediator standards through institutional frameworks.
Cultural Approach
Mediation is not very popular in Monaco. The cultural approach to dispute resolution favors traditional litigation and arbitration. Limited public awareness of mediation benefits. The lack of legislative provisions contributes to low adoption rates. Business community may use international arbitration for commercial disputes.
Typical Costs
Specific cost structures for mediation in Monaco not well-defined due to limited ADR framework. Legal practitioner fees apply for any mediation services. Costs determined by agreement between parties and legal representatives. International arbitration may have different fee structures. Mediation generally costs significantly less than full court proceedings.

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.
