Centro de Mediación Pacto de Paz (PDP) - SUCURSAL QUITO

What Centro de Mediación Pacto de Paz (PDP) - SUCURSAL QUITO does

Centro de Mediación Pacto de Paz (PDP) is an Ecuadorian alternative dispute resolution (ADR) center operating under the umbrella association ASOCIACION DE SERVICIOS DE ASESORIA DESARROLLANDO FUTURO ASOFUTURO. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Santo Domingo with a regional hub in Quito, PDP delivers mediation services across family, civil, traffic, labor, tax, debt, and inheritance disputes, with mediation acts that carry the legal force of an executoriated judgment under Ecuador's Ley de Arbitraje y Mediación, art. 47. The firm operates a network of 29+ branch offices spanning 14 provinces including Pichincha, Esmeraldas, Manabí, Guayas, El Oro, Orellana, and Galápagos, and serves primarily individuals and families seeking faster, lower-cost resolution than judicial litigation.

The core service is in-person and virtual mediation, supported by a free initial consultation, with procedures typically concluding in one hour to two weeks. PDP also operates the Escuela de Mediación, a training school offering certified mediator programs with official endorsement from the Ministry of Labor and authorization from the Judicial Council, delivered through in-person and online (Aula Virtual) modalities with interest-free payment plans. The go-to-market is direct: physical walk-ins, WhatsApp scheduling, phone contact, and social media presence on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram build awareness, while the training school generates top-of-funnel exposure through webinars and master classes.

The revenue model is a hybrid of per-case mediation fees and course tuition for mediator certification, marketed as a freemium entry (free advisory) transitioning to paid service or subscription-style training enrollment. PDP is a non-profit association with 13 disclosed employees supporting a network that is effectively national in scope. Recognition includes a 2026 Leaders League ranking placing mediator Esteban Bueno Carrasco among Ecuador's top 20 mediators. No external funding, app, API, or proprietary technology platform is disclosed; the business is a people-mediated, regulation-anchored service rather than a software business.
