Mediation Webinar: Practical strategies for resolving disputes by mediation

You're invited: Mediation Webinar: Practical strategies for resolving disputes by mediation

Disputes are an inevitable part of doing business, but litigation is only one path to resolution. Join us for a practical webinar exploring how mediation can help parties resolve disputes efficiently, whilst preserving relationships and achieving commercial outcomes.

Facilitated by Olivia Lund, Partner at Duncan Cotterill, this webinar features Nina Khouri, one of New Zealand's leading mediators of commercial disputes in conversation with Partner Jonathan Scragg. Together, Nina and Jonathan will share practical insights and real-world experiences from both sides of the mediation table.

The webinar will cover:

• The business case for mediation - How the cost and timing of mediation compare with taking a dispute through the courts.

• Getting to the table prepared - Choosing the right mediator, preparing position papers and evidence, and setting realistic settlement expectations.

• Advocacy and client conduct during mediation - What effective advocacy in mediation looks like, who should attend, having authority to settle, and some practical dos and don'ts for clients.

• Reaching resolution and knowing when not to - Practical tips for finalising agreements, dealing with unsuccessful mediations, and recognising when litigation may be the better path forward.

The session will conclude with a live Q&A, providing attendees with the opportunity to ask questions and gain practical insights from our speakers.
