Whilst litigation is the traditional way of resolving a dispute, Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), of which Mediation is one form, can be a helpful alternative for many disputes.
ADR has become central to the justice system. It has been cited as a ‘tool of active case management to be encouraged and facilitated by the courts’. Mediation is one of the most popular forms of ADR and as such the Society is continuing its series of seminars to ensure that solicitors consider mediation as an option.
This session will cover Representing a client at a mediation – preparing for assisting a client get optimum benefit from the mediation process
The seminar will be delivered by Brian Speers, Managing Partner with CMG Solicitors. Brian is regarded as one of the most experienced solicitor mediators in Northern Ireland and has pioneered the use of mediation for the resolution of commercial disputes. He has lectured extensively in mediation both locally and internationally.
