What are the critical steps and skills to ensure a successful mediation, and where does it usually go wrong?
Is mediation always the right answer? Are we losing the skills to pick up the phone and negotiate directly with opposing counsel, by an over-reliance on mediation? How do we train the next generation of lawyers to negotiate effectively, in mediation and beyond?
Are there differences in UK and US approaches to mediation, and mediation platforms, from which we can learn?
