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.

Romania Mediation Research

Legal Framework

Mediation in Romania follows Law No. 192 of 16 May 2006 on mediation and the organisation of the profession of mediator. The Mediation Council, established by Law 192/2006, is responsible for supervising mediation in Romania and is an autonomous legal entity acting in the public interest with headquarters in Bucharest. Article 2 of Law 192/2006 allows parties to seek mediation in disputes relating to civil or penal matters, family matters and other fields of law subject to legal provisions. Consumer disputes and other disputes subject to renounceable rights can also be resolved using mediation. However, matters relating to personal rights and to non-renounceable rights cannot be the subject of mediation. Recourse to mediation is voluntary with no obligation for parties to look for mediation services; they may opt out of mediation at any stage and seek other means of dispute resolution including court proceedings or arbitration. Arbitration follows the Romanian Code of Civil Procedure (RCCP) approved by Law No. 134/2010, effective since 2013. Domestic arbitration is addressed under Book IV, Titles I-VII (Articles 541-621), whereas international arbitration is covered in Book VII, Title IV (Articles 1111-1133). The rules for domestic arbitrations are largely applicable to international arbitrations.

While Romania 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

Various national legal provisions in the field of mediation oblige judges, in certain cases, to inform parties of the possibility of opting for mediation and the advantages of doing so. In other cases, financial incentives are offered to parties who choose mediation or other alternative dispute resolution proceedings. Interested parties may contact a mediator before coming to court and also during court proceedings. Romanian courts are familiar with and supportive of international arbitration law and practice. The Supreme Court's Decision no. 10/2024 from 17 June 2024 clarified that under Article 616(1) RCCP, non-governmental organisations of public interest may organise institutional arbitration only if enabled by law, and that the organisation of arbitration by CICA-CCIR and corresponding courts of arbitration attached to local chambers of commerce is lawful because these institutions are specifically empowered by law to organise institutional arbitration. The Code of Civil Procedure provides the framework for arbitration proceedings with courts having jurisdiction over proceedings ancillary to arbitration.

Mediator Regulations

The Mediation Council is responsible for supervising mediation in Romania. On 17 February 2007, the Mediation Council approved the Ethical and Deontological Code for mediators, which is binding on all mediators included in the Panel of Mediators. Training on mediation is provided only by the private sector, but the Mediation Council is responsible for authorising training courses providers to ensure all courses offer trainings of the same standards. A list of training programmeme providers is included on the Mediation Council's official website. Training courses are run on a regular basis. One training programmeme which counts for mediators' initial training course (80 hours) is currently in place, setting learning objectives, skills to be developed and evaluation methods. The 8 providers authorised by the Mediation Council are responsible for developing support material and exercises following the frame set by the national training programmeme. The law establishes the framework for mediators to organise themselves in associations, their practice, the establishment of rules of discipline, the mediation procedure and special provisions on cases guided to court.

Cultural Approach

Romanian mediation culture emphasises voluntary processes with parties free to seek other means of dispute resolution at any point. The Romanian government and justice practitioners are attentive to the advantages of mediation. The law establishes that parties can contact a mediator before coming to court and also during court proceedings, reflecting a flexible approach to dispute resolution. Financial incentives are offered in certain cases to encourage parties to choose mediation. The presence of the Mediation Council and an ethical code for mediators indicates institutional support for professional standards. The cultural approach values consensual resolution and the advantages of alternative dispute resolution over formal litigation. The emphasis on voluntary participation and the ability to opt out at any stage reflects respect for party autonomy in dispute resolution.

Typical Costs

Mediation is not free of charge; the level of payment is subject to agreement between a private mediator and the parties. Currently no legal or financial support to provide mediation services is available from local or national authorities. Specific hourly or daily rates are not documented in available sources. The emphasis on private mediators and fee agreements suggests cost structures are determined by market rates and individual agreements between mediators and parties. No government subsidies or financial support for mediation services are currently available. The voluntary nature of mediation and the absence of public funding suggest costs are borne entirely by the parties involved.
