Pandemic Civil & Commercial Dispute Resolution (PC2DR) Service
The Pandemic Civil and Commercial Dispute Resolution (PC2DR) service of Maverick Enterprise with its deep knowledge and experience in commercial contracts will meet this goal perfectly.
How do we tackle this with you in practice?
1a. (Contract/) Deal Mediation (CDM). Hereby our neutral person as a Mediator brings about a change between the parties and their relationship between them. This option is intended for individuals or companies who primarily want to be cautious about a dispute or problem developing by crafting or adjusting their partnership / relationship or deal in a timely proactive manner.
1b. Mediation (MED). In doing so, our neutral person as a Mediator establishes cooperation with and between the parties to enable them to find a solution for a disagreement or dispute that has already arisen.
2. Early Neutral Evaluation (ENE). In doing so, our neutral person provides the parties with a picture of the merits of their respective cases, to help them assess strengths and weaknesses and better assess and prepare negotiations or any subsequent binding dispute resolution procedures.
3. Expert Determination (EDE). In this process also, speed of implementation is one of the main characteristics and is therefore also very suitable for when parties need a quick decision to continue their business. One of our professional neutral persons will then no longer act as a neutral Mediator but as a neutral Expert and then deliver a final and binding decision on the dispute between the parties as a single Expert.
How much does it cost?
Since this is not primarily a full arbitration or court proceeding but rather a quick resolution, the typical dispute is something that:
– Arises or is linked to the Covid-19 Pandemic
– Has a value from 5,000 EUR to 250,000 EUR
– Is found between two main parties
At Maverick Enterprise, we do not charge for reviewing the first information provided.
The prices for a Deal Mediation, a Regular Mediation or Early Neutral Evaluation under the current service are as follows:
For a mediation block of up to 10 hours you pay 500EUR + VAT per party. As a guideline, these are divided over 7 hours for document review and 3 hours of contact with the parties, including initial preparation meetings and the online mediation session.
For a subsequent mediation block of a maximum of 5 hours you pay 300EUR + VAT per party
For mediation that falls outside this, extra costs will be charged, and this can already be discussed when the first information is being studied.
The prices for an Expert determination (EDE), under the current service are as follows:
- If the Parties have already completed the above step-by-step plan, the Expert determination service can be offered at a fixed rate, whereby each party owes a fixed amount of 750 + VAT at the start to cover the administrative and operational costs.
- If the above step-by-step plan is not followed, an estimate will be made together with the parties of the additional operating costs for hourly wages

Finally, we would like to inform you that under the rules of the Federal Mediation Commission, our accredited Mediators can now again organize a face-to-face mediation as long as the precautions in the field of health and social distancing are observed. However, the current service is designed to be fully operational online. This is to make the process as smooth as possible and to minimize disruption with your daily activities. Do you have any questions about the latter or is it all a bit new still, do not hesitate to contact us. We are happy to assist you with advice and the appropriate assistance.
