About TAMI

TAMI is a foundation with the aim of preventing escalation of disputes at an early stage and offering an alternative for the ordinary courts of law. This institute has been founded at the request of businesses involved with technology, the municipality of Eindhoven, Brainport Development and lawyers acting for technology businesses.

TAMI  is an initiative of Brainport TechLaw, a knowledge centre and platform where technology and law come together. To run a business and to innovate also means disputes may arise. In this respect, one may, for instance, think of disputes with a partner, supplier or competitor. Sometimes it will be necessary to involve an external party to resolve the dispute. Bringing matters to court requires massive investment and a great deal of time. That is why the Brainport TechLaw association committed to the foundation of this institute for dispute resolution, on the basis of de-escalation, mediation and arbitration: an independent, impartial, competent, fast, cost-effective and confidential alternative to going to court.

The institute is completely separate from the Brainport TechLaw knowledge centre and has its own board and secretarial office.
