The International Forum "Mediation & Law" is the largest specialised event in Ukraine dedicated to the development of mediation and other alternative dispute resolution methods.
The Forum aims to promote the development of mediation as an effective tool for conflict resolution, improve the quality of mediation services, share best practices, and create conditions for interaction and cooperation. The event aims to highlight innovative approaches to alternative dispute resolution, prospects for their development and discuss current trends.
The VIII International Forum "Mediation & Law" will provide participants with an opportunity to join panel discussions, workshops and other events dedicated to relevant topics.

The event was jointly organised by the Ukrainian Academy of Mediation within the framework of the EU CONSENT Project, the EU Pravo-Justice Project and with the support of the American people through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) under the Justice for All Programme.

We look forward to meeting you at the VIII International Forum "Mediation & Law"!

Let's remember the 2023 Forum

In 2023, despite the restrictions caused by the war in Ukraine and the impossibility of holding a large-scale event offline, the VII International Forum "Mediation & Law" was held online. This made it possible to ensure the participation of not only Ukrainian participants from all over the world, but also foreign mediators and lawyers.
The VII International Mediation & Law Forum featured 56 speakers and was attended by 680 participants from 50 countries.
