Costs and risk can make commencing court or other proceedings unattractive. On the other hand, negotiations between parties often become bogged down and discussions stall. This is where mediation comes in. Contracts and agreements often require parties to participate in mediation as a means of resolving disputes (often as a step in a “Dispute Resolution Procedure”) but those involved can be unsure about when to try mediation and how it works or how to suggest using a mediator when there’s no contractual requirement to do so. This seminar is designed to provide answers to questions and concerns you may have about the mediation process, from start to finish, as well as give you the opportunity to discuss mediation with a real life mediator!
