Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to briefly present the essence of mediation and the specifics of disputes occurring on financial markets. The indicated discussion is to be used, among others, by analysis of media- tion proceedings conducted on financial markets, based on pilot empirical studies (using the case study method) conducted at the Arbitration Center of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority, and determining the role of specialized mediation centers in the development of out-of-court mediation in Poland. The authors argue that specialized mediation centers dealing with mediation proceedings only in a strictly defined category of civil and commercial cases show high efficiency, therefore they can support court proceedings or replace them in this regard. Therefore, specialized centers should be supported by appropriate legal regulations that would allow for their development, constituting an alternative to general centers dealing with mediation proceedings in all possible categories of cases suitable for mediation.
