Mediation or Conciliation has several advantages comparing with other commercial dispute resolution methods, including speed, cheapness, and countinuing commercial relations between the parties. Unfortunately, this dispute resolution method is not widely used in commercial disputes and individuals and business actors have not been able to profit the benefits of this dispute resolution method. The main reason for this situation is the lack of adequate executive support in Iranian law for the settlement agreement as the result of the mediation and conciliation process. Therefore, in this article, while explaining the benefits of mediation and the need to legislate supportive laws regarding this dispute resolution method, a commercial mediation model act has been proposed to the Iranian legislature, so that future enactment of this law leads to significant progress in Iranian commercial dispute resolution. The following three topics are analyzed in the article: "The benefits of commercial mediation and the need for a special legislative policy to support commercial settlement agreements", "The current legislative policy of the Iranian legal system regarding commercial mediation" and "Proposing a commercial mediation model act to the legislature".
