Mediation: Overview (Spain)
17 de febrero de 2026
Mediation is a flexible, voluntary, and confidential form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR). In a mediation a neutral third party assists parties to work towards a negotiated settlement of their dispute, with the parties retaining control of the decision on whether or not to settle, and on what terms. Given its nature, the way mediations are conducted across jurisdictions will vary, depending on different factors such as the local approach to mediation, the applicable law, complexity of the issues involved, the characters of the parties, and the value of the dispute. For a counsel engaged in mediation, a deeper understanding of these factors is critical for a successful outcome.

This Note explains the key issues that need to be considered, from a Spanish law perspective, when mediating a civil dispute.
