Ukrainian Mediation Center (UMC) was started at Kyiv Mohyla Business School to create an institution that would be a driving force for the development of alternative ways of dispute resolution in Ukraine through training and providing truly independent mediators’ services.

The most important thing for us is the reputation of the UMC as an operating organization that works:

Professionally: we provide high quality service with full responsibility

Impartially: all our clients are given equal opportunities

Independently: our mediators are self-sufficient and free from outside influence

Our dream is:

• to introduce in Ukraine a culture of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in general, and mediation in particular, at the level of the best world standards

We strive:

• to create a basis for the development of ADR's culture in Ukraine
• to build a system of mediation training and other methods of ADR
• to create an effective group of independent mediators

We offer:

• Training
• Mediation services
• Consulting services

Expected result:

• Introduction of a system of extrajudicial ways of dispute resolution based on voluntariness, confidentiality, impartiality and independence of mediators that are characterized by the high level of implementation of the agreements reached in Ukraine.
• Conserving financial resources of companies, organizations and individuals through optimization of the use of time, financial and human resources needed to resolve disputes.
• Increasing the stability of the Ukrainian business environment by maintaining partnership due to the use of alternative ways of dispute resolution.

We believe that dispute is an opportunity for positive change.
