Mediation
Mediation is dedicated to provide neutral, low-cost, alternative dispute resolution service to clients with conflicts that can be addressed outside the traditional legal framework. Mediation provides an alternative setting that does not involve the formalities of an adversarial system where one party wins and the other loses. Instead, the process empowers parties to find their own resolution, creating an opportunity for a win-win solution to emerge for all parties in the dispute. Some types of disputes handled include disagreements over copyright ownership and counterfeit, collaboration agreements, labor strikes and payment issues. The Court of first instance in Aruba has appointed Rep Law as mediator in several cases.
Mediation is:
VOLUNTARY: Both parties choose to participate in the mediation process and work together to create a mutually agreeable resolution.
CONFIDENTIAL: Unlike a court proceeding, where there is a public record, the parties in mediation sign a confidentiality agreement; nothing disclosed in mediation is admissible in court, in the event that litigation is pursued.
NEUTRAL: The mediator facilitates communication between the parties, but does not determine who is right or wrong.
INFORMAL: The process is less expensive and faster than litigation. The parties work together to find a creative resolution that addresses the participants’ interests.
COST-EFFECTIVE: offers low cost mediate services for individuals and organizations to resolve disputes without having to resort to expensive and time-consuming litigation.
Real Estate Law
Issues involving construction agreements, architects, sale & purchase agreements and issues on the building permit. These are some of the aspects that tend to need special attention. Rep Law is specialized in handling these.
Securities & Trusts
Although Aruba has a close connection with the United States, the legal system differs from the Anglo-Saxon system. Security rights like mortgage and pledge have different meaning compared to the US-system. In international business, banking and financing the Aruba aspects require special and qualified attention.
Trademark Law
The Aruba system on trademarks is being reviewed and brought in balance with the most accepted system internationally. So far, the first user holds the strongest rights. In the new system it is expected that the first subscription will be essential. Registration at the Bureau of Intellectual Property is one of Rep Law’s services. Also, Aruba has to face the infringement of trademarks. Rep Law has broad experience in seizing the counterfeit and either settle or prosecute the infringer.
