Yes, it is valid for both procedures. You can use it in extrajudicial mediations (labor, commercial, civil) and in formal arbitration procedures, whether institutional or independent. It is also applicable to binding mediations.

When granting it, you can specify whether you want it to cover all these procedures or limit it to only one of them according to your needs.

Absolutely. The power can be drafted with the limitations you consider necessary. You can establish that the agent only has representation and negotiation powers, but requires your prior and express consent to accept any agreement, settlement, or award.

You can also limit their action to specific procedures or establish that they must consult you before making relevant decisions.

It is not legally mandatory. You can designate any person you trust as agent.

However, it is highly recommended that they be a lawyer or specialized professional, especially in complex arbitrations and mediations, as they require specific legal knowledge to adequately defend your interests.

Some institutional arbitration procedures may require legal representation, so it is advisable to verify this beforehand.

If the power includes express authority to accept agreements, settlements, or awards, these have full legal validity, exactly as if you had signed them personally.

Mediation agreements have executive force and can be directly enforced in court. Arbitration awards are equivalent to final court judgments.

That is why it is essential that the power clearly specifies what powers you grant to the agent.

The complete process is usually completed between 24 and 72 hours, depending on the signature modality chosen and the notary's availability.

The typical breakdown is: draft preparation (12-24h), review and adjustments if necessary (12-24h), online signing with notary (15-30 minutes), and obtaining the final notarized document (immediate in digital format).

If you need urgency, we can process it in less than 24 hours.

No, you can grant it from anywhere in the world. You only need a stable internet connection, a device with camera (for video identification), and your digital certificate or electronic ID.

The notary will perform the identification via video conference with legally approved biometric technology, and you can sign the document remotely with full legal validity.

Yes, you can revoke the power at any time through a public deed of revocation, which can also be done online.

It is important to formally notify the revocation to the agent and to any body or arbitral tribunal where the power is being used, so that it takes immediate effect.

The revocation can also be granted online with the same agile process.

The necessary documents are:

• Your valid identity document (ID, NIE, or passport)
• Complete agent details: full name, TIN, and address
• Description of the procedure: type of mediation, arbitration, or conciliation (labor, commercial, civil, etc.)
• Digital certificate or electronic ID for signature
• Stable internet connection

If you don't have a digital certificate, we can help you obtain one or use the notarial video identification system.

Notarial fees include document preparation, prior legal advice, remote identification, online signature, and issuance of the first digital copy.

If you need certified physical copies sent to your home, these have an additional shipping cost. There is also a small cost if you request the notary to register the power in a specific registry.

We provide you with a detailed quote without obligation before starting the procedure.

You can designate one or several agents according to your needs. If you designate several, you can establish that they act:

• Jointly (all must make decisions together)
• Severally (each can act independently)
• Subsidiarily (one acts only if the other cannot)

The most common option in mediations and arbitrations is to designate a main agent and one or two substitutes for cases of absence or conflict of interest.
