Custom choices

Which choices determine the content?

The right mediation agreement depends on your situation and the nature of the conflict. These questions determine which agreements carry the most weight for you.

Choice or question Why this matters legally
Is it a business or an employment dispute? In a labor dispute, reintegration and the employment relationship often play a role, which influences the objectives and agreements.
Does the mediator follow recognized regulations (such as the MfN regulations)? A certified mediator usually works according to fixed codes of conduct and a complaints procedure; refer to these explicitly.
How are the costs divided? Half each is customary, but parties may also agree on a different distribution; record this unambiguously.
How strict must the confidentiality be? Determine whether confidentiality also applies to advisors and witnesses and whether there are exceptions, for example in the case of a statutory reporting obligation.
What happens if the mediation fails? Agree that ongoing deadlines or any suspended proceedings are clearly regulated, so that no one loses rights.
Clauses and provisions

What elements belong in a mediation agreement?

A comprehensive mediation agreement sets out how the process unfolds and protects what is discussed within it. Below you will find the components that belong in virtually every mediation agreement and when they become important.

Provision Relevant to Legal point of attention
Parties and the mediator Always State who is participating, who represents them, and who is acting as an independent and impartial mediator.
Description of the dispute Always A brief factual description of the matters on which the parties disagree, without question of fault.
Voluntariness Always Parties participate voluntarily and may terminate the mediation at any time; this is a core principle of mediation.
Confidentiality and secrecy Always Everything discussed during the mediation remains confidential and may not be used as evidence in subsequent proceedings.
Costs and fees Always Specify how the hourly rate and other costs are divided, usually half each, and how invoicing will be handled.
Role and impartiality of the mediator Always The mediator guides the conversation, does not pass judgment, and does not take sides; reference may be made to the MfN regulations.
Engagement of advisors If desired When and how parties may consult a lawyer, accountant, or other advisor during the process.
Settlement agreement upon result Upon agreement The agreements reached are recorded in a binding settlement agreement concluded by the mediation.
Use in practice

How do you use this document correctly?

A mediation agreement is only effective if all participants sign it before the start and adhere to the agreements. Pay attention to these moments.

Situation What should you do? Point of attention
For the first meeting Have all parties and the mediator sign the agreement Only then are voluntariness and confidentiality legally established.
During the process Discuss everything within the mediation and share nothing with the outside world In this way, confidentiality remains intact, and no one can use what was said as evidence later.
When engaging an advisor Adhere to the agreed confidentiality and inform the mediator Prevents confidential information from ending up outside the mediation.
Upon an agreement being reached Record the agreements in a settlement agreement Only agreements recorded in writing are binding and enforceable.
Common mistakes

Common mistakes

We frequently see these errors, and they can cause the mediation process or the reached solution to fail after all.

Wrong Consequence Better approach
Only sign after the conversation has already started The confidentiality may not cover the earlier part Always sign the agreement before the first substantive meeting.
No clear cost breakdown agreed upon Dispute regarding the bill disrupts the process or completion Concretely establish the hourly rate and the breakdown in advance.
No confidentiality clause for advisors Confidential information leaks via a hired third party Also bind advisors and witnesses to confidentiality.
Do not record the agreements reached in writing The solution is not binding afterwards and difficult to enforce Conclude the mediation with a signed settlement agreement.
Viewing the role of the mediator as a judge Expectations are not met and trust disappears Make it clear that the mediator provides guidance and does not pass judgment or take sides.
Risk profile

What is your situation and what do you pay attention to?

Depending on your situation, the emphasis shifts. If you recognize yourself in this, you know where the focus needs to go.

Risk profile Example Focus in the document
Conflict between business partners You want to save the collaboration or settle it amicably Establish confidentiality and a clear description of the dispute, and aim for a settlement agreement.
Labor dispute with an employee Employer and employee want to restore or terminate the relationship Take reintegration obligations into account and align the outcome with a potential termination.
Dispute with a supplier or customer You want to resolve a commercial dispute out of court Ensure that ongoing deadlines and potential legal proceedings remain properly arranged if the mediation fails.
Ongoing or threatened lawsuit You are trying mediation alongside or instead of legal proceedings Record how the proceedings are suspended and that what was said may not serve as evidence.
Additional documents

When is this document not enough?

A mediation agreement governs the course of the mediation process, but not the final agreements or any form of dispute resolution. In these cases, you need an additional document or procedure.

Situation Supplementary document Why
Situation Related document Explanation
The mediation leads to an agreement that must become binding Settlement Agreement In this, you record the reached solution in a definitive and enforceable manner.
You want additional safeguards for confidentiality regarding sensitive information Confidentiality Agreement A separate NDA protects commercially sensitive information, independent of the mediation process as well.
The mediation fails and you want to assert your rights Legal assistance Our legal experts can assist you in further negotiations or legal proceedings.
Explanation of this document

Drafting a mediation agreement, why?

Not every entrepreneur knows exactly what mediation agreements are, when they are needed, and which risks they must cover. Therefore, we explain below what this document entails, what to look out for, and why customized legal solutions are important.

What is a mediation agreement?
A mediation agreement is the agreement whereby parties in a dispute agree to have their conflict guided by an independent mediator, with the aim of reaching an amicable solution. The mediation agreement sets out the ground rules of the mediation process: the role of the mediator, the confidentiality of the mediation process, the voluntary nature of participation, the costs, and the consequences of the failure of the mediation. Mediation is an alternative to judicial proceedings and is applied by mutual consent in employment disputes, business conflicts, tenancy disputes, family feuds within companies, and neighborhood disputes. In practice, mediation is also included as a mandatory step in commercial contracts before parties are allowed to go to court. Our lawyers will draft a mediation agreement for you that properly safeguards the confidentiality of the mediation process, clearly defines the mediator's role, and enables a proper settlement that is legally binding.
How do you ensure the confidentiality of the mediation process?
Confidentiality cornerstone of effective mediation: parties can only speak frankly if they know that what they say will not leave the mediation room. Your mediation agreement must contain an explicit confidentiality obligation that applies to all parties and the mediator: what is shared during the mediation—views, information, proposals—may not be used in subsequent judicial proceedings. The mediator has the right to refuse to testify: he is not required to give testimony regarding what was discussed during the mediation. A particular point of attention: the confidentiality obligation also applies after the failure of the mediation. Our lawyers draft a confidentiality clause that fully shields the mediation process.
How do you make the mediation results legally binding?
If the parties reach an agreement during mediation, the result is recorded in a settlement agreement pursuant to Article 7:900 of the Dutch Civil Code. This is the legally binding agreement that records the amicable settlement reached. The mediation agreement must stipulate that a solution reached is only binding once it has been signed by both parties in a written settlement agreement. An oral agreement made during mediation is, in principle, not binding. Our lawyers draft both the mediation agreement and the settlement agreement if the mediation is successful.
How does it work at MKBjuristen?
After a brief intake, our lawyers draft a mediation agreement that properly safeguards confidentiality, clearly defines the mediator's role, and regulates the procedure for a binding settlement agreement following successful mediation.
Are you unsure whether your document is legally correct? We would be happy to assess the sensible course of action: drafting, reviewing, or amending.

Why not use a standard document?

A standard document often seems like a quick solution, but usually does not fully align with your company, agreements, risks, and way of working. Our legal experts draft documents that fit your situation.

Standard document
SME Lawyers
Not tailored to your business
Tailored to your company, industry, and working methods
No control over your specific situation
Consultation with a lawyer and assessment of your risks
Possibly outdated or incomplete
Verification of current and practical provisions
No personal explanation
Explanation regarding the use of the document

A standard document seems cheap, until it doesn't fit your situation properly. That is why we provide custom legal solutions tailored to your business.

Custom solutions per industry and company

Every business operates differently and faces different legal risks. Therefore, we tailor the document to your industry, customers, agreements, and way of working.

Webshops & e-commerce

Focus on online sales, delivery, returns, complaints, payment, digital products, and consumer regulations.

Business services

Attention to the assignment, additional work, liability, payment, termination, and reliance on client information.

Construction, installation & execution

Attention to planning, delivery, warranties, additional work, materials, delays, and liability risks.

Software, SaaS & digital services

Attention to licenses, availability, support, updates, data, intellectual property, and limitation of liability.

Trade, supply & wholesale

Attention to delivery, transport, payment, retention of title, warranties, delivery times, and international agreements.

Consultants, freelancers & advisors

Attention to scope, best efforts obligations, cancellation, payment, liability, and confidential information.


A legal document only has value if it suits your practice. That is why we look not only at the text, but also at how you use the document in your business.

Common mistakes with legal documents

A legal document often seems simple, but small errors can have major consequences later on. In practice, we see that entrepreneurs run the greatest risk when a document does not align well with their business, agreements, or way of working.

  • Using a standard document that does not suit the company
  • Forgot important agreements regarding payment, delivery, liability, or termination
  • Have a document generated without legal review
  • Continuing to use old documents while the company has changed
  • Not knowing how the document should be used correctly in practice

A legal document only prevents problems if it suits your situation. That is why we look not only at the text, but also at your company, agreements, and risks.

Why is a standard document often not enough?

Because a standard document does not take into account your industry, customers, risks, and specific agreements, important provisions may be missing or not align well with your practice.

Can I create a legal document myself using AI?

AI can assist in creating text, but does not independently assess whether the document is legally appropriate, complete, and usable for your business. Legal review therefore remains important.

When do I need to have my document checked?

Have your document checked if your business has changed, you have new customers or services, you have doubts about existing agreements, or the document has not been updated for a long time.

Will I also receive an explanation about the use of the document?

Yes. We explain how to use the document in practice, what to look out for, and which steps are important to prevent disputes afterwards.
