Conciliation is a flexible and voluntary alternative dispute resolution method that emphasizes collaboration and open communication. Unlike arbitration or litigation, conciliation encourages disputing parties to come together in a neutral setting with the assistance of a skilled conciliator who facilitates constructive dialogue. The goal is to help parties reach a mutually acceptable resolution that respects the interests and concerns of all involved.

Conciliation is especially effective in cases where maintaining relationships is important, such as family disputes, employment conflicts, consumer disagreements, and commercial issues. It creates an environment that is less adversarial and more cooperative, often preventing disputes from escalating further. Because the process is confidential and informal, parties feel more comfortable expressing their concerns openly, which fosters trust and understanding.

In conciliation, the conciliator plays an active role in guiding the discussions. Unlike mediators, who mainly facilitate communication, conciliators may propose solutions, offer expert advice, or suggest compromises to help bridge gaps between parties. This approach helps identify underlying issues that may not be apparent initially and paves the way for creative problem-solving tailored to the unique circumstances of the dispute.

One of the major advantages of conciliation is that it reduces the time and costs typically associated with formal court procedures. The process can be scheduled quickly, avoiding lengthy litigation delays. Moreover, because the parties themselves are involved in crafting the resolution, they are often more committed to honoring the agreement, which reduces the risk of future disputes or non-compliance.

Confidentiality is a cornerstone of conciliation. All discussions and documents shared during the process are kept private and cannot be used as evidence in court if the dispute is not resolved through conciliation. This protects sensitive information and encourages honest dialogue.

Conciliation can be initiated at any stage of a dispute, whether before or after formal legal proceedings have started. Many courts and arbitration bodies recommend or require parties to attempt conciliation before moving to arbitration or litigation, recognizing its value in saving judicial resources and preserving goodwill between parties.
