Who we are
About us

Such a system contributes to and improves the quality of the business environment, legal services, and the efficiency of the judiciary.

We closely monitor the changes to the market and advocate for/initiate projects that will ultimately benefit the public.
The guiding principle of our work is the inclusion of individuals, institutions, and organizations of a diverse background. The Association is diligently working on the creation of a network that will enable cooperation between practitioners and academics and enhance the success of ADR related projects. In doing so, we are especially committed to promoting women in dispute resolution and including the leading female lawyers from BiH and beyond in our work.
