Organismo di Conciliazione di Firenze

What Organismo di Conciliazione di Firenze does

Organismo di Conciliazione di Firenze (OCF) is a non-profit alternative dispute resolution (ADR) organization headquartered at the Nuovo Palazzo di Giustizia in Florence, Italy. Founded in 2005 as the first national entity uniting three legal-economic professional orders — the Ordine degli Avvocati di Firenze (Lawyers), the Ordine dei Dottori Commercialisti e degli Esperti Contabili di Firenze (Accountants), and the Consiglio Notarile dei Distretti Riuniti di Firenze, Prato e Pistoia (Notaries) — OCF is registered under No. 37 in the Ministry of Justice Register of authorized mediation organisms pursuant to Legislative Decree 28/2010. The organization handles approximately 2,600 mediation procedures annually across civil, commercial, and family disputes, serving parties in the Tuscany region under a tri-professional governance model led by President Avv. Susanna Della Felice and Head of Organization Avv. Pietro Beretta Anguissola.

OCF's core offerings comprise civil and commercial mediation, family mediation (Mediazione Familiare), and supported assisted negotiation (NAS – Negoziazione Assistita). Its technology stack includes the ConciliaSfera online filing platform (powered by Sferabit) for electronic mediation requests, video-conferencing for remote sessions, and integration with PEC certified email, SPID level-2 authentication, and digital signature systems for qualified electronic signing of final agreements. All mediators are qualified lawyers, accountants, or notaries registered with their respective Florence-area professional orders, and parties must be assisted by their own lawyers throughout proceedings.

OCF operates a pure transaction-fee revenue model with no external investors or parent company. Fees are prescribed by DM 150/2023 fee tables and include startup costs based on mediation value, per-session charges (e.g., €20 administrative + €37 per session for family mediation, typically 6-12 sessions), and flat-rate NAS pricing (€366 per party). Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: parties contact OCF by phone, email, certified email, in-person at the Florence office, or via the ConciliaSfera online platform. The organization is owned collectively by its three founding professional orders, governed by a Board of Directors with rotating representation from each order.
