About the mediator

Dragoș Țurcan, attested mediator

The office works in Chișinău and throughout the Republic of Moldova, in Romanian, Russian and English, for private individuals and for companies.

Professional background

Dragoș Țurcan is a mediator attested by the Mediation Council of the Republic of Moldova and runs the Mediator's Office (Biroul Mediatorului) “Țurcan Dragoș” in Chișinău. All of the work is carried out under Law no. 137/2015 on mediation, the act that sets out what a mediator may do and, above all, what a mediator may not do.

The attestation followed the initial training in mediation required by law, with modules on communication, negotiation, conflict management and professional ethics. Continuing training remains a standing obligation of the profession, so he takes part regularly in refresher programmes and in exchanges of practice between mediators.

In his day-to-day work he conducts mediation sessions in family, civil, commercial and employment disputes, as well as in the categories of criminal cases for which the law allows mediation. He works with private individuals and with companies alike, and in disputes already before the court he cooperates readily with the parties' lawyers.

His way of working is calm and structured: each party is heard separately, then together, until the real interests come out from behind the positions being stated. He does not put forward ready-made solutions and does not assess anyone's chances in court. Sessions can be held at the office or online, in Romanian, Russian or English.

Qualifications and practice

Four things it is worth knowing before you sit down at the mediation table.

  • Attestation

    Attested as a mediator by the Mediation Council of the Republic of Moldova and entered in the register of mediators. The attestation can be checked with the Council at any time.

  • Professional training

    Initial training in mediation as required by law, followed by refresher programmes in negotiation, communication and the ethics of the profession.

  • Areas of practice

    Family, civil, commercial and employment disputes, together with the categories of criminal cases for which the law allows mediation.

  • Working languages

    Sessions are held in Romanian, Russian or English, whichever the parties choose, with no translator in between.

Working principles

The same four principles apply in every case, whoever the parties are and whatever is at stake.

  • Neutrality and impartiality

    The mediator takes nobody's side, gives legal advice to neither party and imposes no solution. His role is to guide the discussion, not to sit in judgment on it.

  • Confidentiality

    What is said in the session stays between the parties. The mediator cannot be heard as a witness about facts learned during the mediation.

  • Voluntary participation

    Taking part is free. Either party may withdraw at any moment, without saying why, and no agreement can be imposed on anyone.

  • A solution that works

    The aim is an understanding the parties can genuinely carry out, written down clearly. The mediation agreement (acord de mediere) can acquire enforceable force in the conditions set by law.
