Kleros Mediation Bridge
A a hybrid process, beginning with mediation and seamlessly transitioning to Kleros for transparent, efficient, and cost-effective resolution.
Parties begin with traditional mediation with a human mediator to explore underlying issues and seek common ground.
If mediation does not resolve the dispute, the mediator will escalate the case to Kleros arbitration.
Kleros jurors review the case transparently and impartially, rendering a final decision.
After the Kleros decision, the mediator helps the parties incorporate the decision into a Master Settlement Agreement (MSA), which is enforceable in some jurisdictions (i.e. the Singapore Convention on Mediation).
