Are you ready to tackle conflicts and build bridges or perhaps settle costly and acrimonious litigation?

Disputes are hugely disruptive and costs businesses significant time and money. They are more common than many like to admit. In most cases an early resolution of the dispute, on terms agreeable to both parties, makes huge commercial (and emotional) sense. How do you achieve that?

We invite you to a mock mediation, where we will provide you with a practical demonstration of how mediation works and how it can help get your business back on track – perhaps even to help you repair important relationships.

Delegates will have the opportunity to network following the session, with complimentary drinks available. 

What you’ll gain from attending

By the end of the session, you will:

  • Understand how mediation actually works in practice
  • Learn how to achieve earlier resolution and reduce disruption
  • See what makes mediation more effective than direct negotiations alone
  • Gain insight into strategy, preparation and outcomes
  • Discover how mediation can help preserve and repair key relationships

Sejal Raja, Head of Employment in London, and Andrew Cromby, Head of Commercial Disputes in London, invite you to attend our mock mediation, which will provide valuable  insight into how the process works and the advantages of mediation.

This event will be of interest to in-house lawyers, HR professionals, business owners and directors, professional partnerships, and families in conflict - anyone who may find themselves involved in a dispute.
