Article written by: Amparo Quintana, lawyer and mediator. Member of the European Group of Magistrates for Mediation (GEMME) and also of the AMM (Madrid Association of Mediation)
lto Mediation in civil and commercial matters has laid the foundations for a legal framework for regulating mediation at the state level. Amparo Quintana, as a lawyer and mediation professional, highlights the most positive aspects and those that could be improved of the Mediation Law:
Strengths:
1) The mediator is perceived as a objectively trained professional to carry out that activity. Mediation is not something for well-intentioned or more or less conciliatory people, but must be carried out by professionals:
- This results in greater security for users, as they can ask the mediators for information about their experience, training and profession of origin, which the latter must provide.
- The consequence of all this is the obligation to take out a civil liability insurance policy.
