Arbitrations and Mediations

On 12 March 2019 at a Legalwise Seminar in Perth our Kim Wilson SC, Robyn Hadley and Adam Somerville-Brown gave a presentation to other lawyers on the topic of “How to Arbitrate and Mediate: a Practical Guide”.  The areas covered included:

• Requirements to consider alternate avenues of resolution of disputes.
• The merits and misconceptions of arbitration.
• Costs benefit analysis of litigation as against alternate dispute resolution options.
• Step by step guide for arbitration including the arbitration agreement.
• Mediation and practical considerations.

Mediation is a process where a trained person (the Mediator) helps the parties to a dispute, to negotiate a resolution to their dispute. The Mediation Lawyer does this by facilitating discussions, and by assisting the parties to identify issues and concerns and to help them identify and explore options to resolve their dispute.
