Law and Psychology

I am Erna Adamkó JD, lawyer, mediator and business and leadership coach.

I graduated in law in 2005 at ELTE Faculty of Law in Budapest, and as a lawyer and subsequently an atttorney at law and mediator, I have been dealing with the commercial, business and other civil law related representation of businesses and individuals, court and out of court settlement of disputes, and negotiation of various types of contracts for 14 years both in Hungarian and in English languages.

During my career I recognized that human relations, communication between the parties and the applied conflict handling strategies profoundly determine both coming into existence and capability of operation of agreements as well as the possibility of settlement of conflicts. For this reason I completed my legal knowledge and experience with mental health and organization development studies in a postgraduate course of Semmelweis University in Budapest between 2008-2010, and studied business and leadership coaching at the Hungarian Coaching Psychology Association in 2018-2019. I obtained my Psychology BA degree at Károli Gáspár University of the Reformed Church in 2021.

As an accredited mediator of the Hungarian Ministry of Justice, I help my clients to find a mutual base and voice, to solve their conflicts and to make decisions on important issues.

COMMERCIAL AND BUSINESS MEDIATION

Did you deliver a service that has not been paid for properly? Or have you bought a product that did not turn out to be as you had expected?

Do you have conflicts with your business partner in relation to running your joint company?

Business mediation facilitates the constructive solution of such disputes that are related commercial issues, property, products and services, which may otherwise be decided about by the court. Tipical situations are contractual disputes between business associations and cooperation problems between business partners.

Whatvere the exact situation is, business mediation is always a more advantageous solution than litigation.

Mediation is a fast, economical and private solution to settle a dispute, where you can reach an acceptable agreement to everyone even after a few sessions. In opposition to the long and expensive court procedure where it is likely to reach a court decision in the end that is not the best to any of the parties.

WORKPLACE MEDIATION

Are there recurring conflicts between your colleagues?

Is the cooperation becoming less efficient?

By applying mediation, coaching and organistaion development techniques the conflicts that arise at the workplace between the colleagues can be handled in the framework of workplace mediation. Here the aim of the process is to restore or establish an effective and harmonical cooperation.

The other type of workplace mediation is, when it is about the peaceful settlement of a labour dispute between the employer and the employee. In this case it is possible to avoid the time consumption and costs of a court procedure, and its eventual harm on the reputation of the parties.

It happens often that the main obstacle that hinders effective and fluent operation at a workplace doesn’t derive from the unpreparedness or unwillingness of the team. Such outcomes may be caused by the organizational conditions and internal processes that are not suitable under the specific circumstances. Good news is, that such conditions and processes can be changed, if we identify the problematic areas and organize the work in such a way that meets both the expectations of the management, the characteristics and skills of the workforce, as well as the specifities of thecompany. .

.

Review of the tasks that the specific roles contain, assessment and more suitable use of the characteristics, skills and knowledge of the team members, together with the discovery and support of their personal motivations even with smaller changes may lead to the end of several workplace problems, whilst strengthening the loyalty to and rising of the satisfaction of the team with the job and the workplace.

Review of the old processes and elaboration of clear and rational new paths to follow, beyond ensuring effective and economical operation reduce the probability of the arisal of internal conflicts and lessen workplace stress.

Thus, review and optimalization of the organizational structure does not result only in the solution of acute problems, but it can have such longlasting efffects like higher work performance and rising of the colleagues’ satisfaction with the workplace thatconstitutetheguarenteesforthelong-termsuccessfuloperation of thecompany.
