Abstract

This article aims to discuss corporate judicial mediation, shedding light on the relevance of this subject. As conflicts within a company can potentially lead to financial collapse if not resolved timely and even render it impossible to sustain business operations, mediation is a crucial tool for sustaining business operations. Mediation, whether judicial or extrajudicial, began in Brazil in the 1990s. It is a practice aligned with the American multidoor system coined as the MultidoorCourthouseSystem by Sander, meaning that there are several doors for conflict resolution. In the mediation sessions— which rarely occur just once— the parties must be assisted by their lawyers or public defenders. The mediator plays a central role as a facilitator, fostering communication and bringing the parties together. It's important to note that the mediator does not decide or propose solutions but acts as a neutral guide in the process. Within our legal framework, judicial mediations, whether involving companies or not, occur in judicial centers for conflict resolution and citizenship called CentrosJudiciários de Solução de Conflitos e Cidadania – CEJUSCS or within the court system. Principles govern this matter, emphasizing, among others, the autonomy of the parties' will, informality, confidentiality, the impartiality of the mediator, the isonomy of the parties, orality, the search for consensus and good faith (Mediation Law, Art. 2, Items I to VIII). Confidentiality and speed are features present in business and other mediation.
