In the corporate world, disputes between parties often require efficient resolution methods outside of litigation. Two commonly used mechanisms are mediation and conciliation. Although both fall under alternative dispute resolution (ADR), they differ fundamentally, particularly in the role of the third party.

This article explores the differences, similarities, and legal basis of both mechanisms to offer clearer understanding for business actors in choosing the most suitable resolution method.
