Consumer protection

Disputes with traders, resolved without the grind.

Many consumer disputes are too small for a lawsuit, yet frustrating enough to be worth resolving. Mediation offers a direct route in which both sides save time.

  • Free information session
  • Confidential
  • No obligations

Correspondence with a trader or service provider can run for months without any result: complaints, template replies, deadlines that keep running. In mediation, the parties sit at the same table — in person or online — and look for a concrete solution: repair, replacement, refund, staged payments, or a combination they agree on together.

For the trader, mediation means a customer kept and a reputation protected; for the consumer, a real resolution in a confidential setting. The administrative routes remain available, of course — ANPC, the ADR procedures — mediation does not replace them, it complements them.

Situations we frequently handle

  • Non-conforming products or services not properly performed
  • Refusal of warranty claims or refunds
  • Disagreements with real-estate developers or builders
  • Disputes over telecommunications or utility services
  • Travel services or events not honoured as contracted

Illustrative example

The context

A buyer and a real-estate developer, at odds over remedying defects discovered at the handover of a flat.

The stakes

For the buyer — the home promised in the contract; for the developer — a completed handover and the project's reputation.

The approach

A list of defects agreed with a specialist accepted by both parties, then negotiation of a remediation schedule with verifiable milestones.

The result

A signed addendum, with works scheduled and compensation for the delay — instead of a lawsuit that would have blocked the handover.
