Resolve Disputes Without Court Proceedings or Travel

The mediation deed signed before a notary has full legal validity throughout Spain. It is a public document that serves as proof of its content and can be judicially enforced without the need for prior trial if any party fails to comply with the agreement.

It has the same force as a final court judgment regarding the agreements reached between the parties.

The cost varies depending on the complexity of the case and the amount in dispute, but generally ranges from €150-500, divided between the parties. This represents savings of 60-80% compared to the costs of a full court proceeding.

• Documentation related to the dispute (contracts, invoices, emails, etc.)

It is not mandatory, although you can be assisted by a lawyer if you wish. The notary acts as a neutral mediator, ensuring the process is fair and legal.

In complex cases or high-value disputes, prior legal advice may be advisable.

In mediation, the parties reach the agreement themselves with the notary's facilitation. In arbitration, the notary-arbitrator hears both parties and issues a binding resolution.

Mediation is more flexible and parties have greater control over the final outcome. Arbitration is more similar to a trial, but faster and more economical.
