"Thank you so much for coming to our conference. Your session was the standout session of the day; I've had a lot of great feedback about it. In fact, I've had more positive feedback about this workshop than about any other session in any conference that I've organised!
Our teams liked the fact that it was interactive, that it was skills based rather than black letter law, and that it challenged them to think about how they approach mediation and settlement talks. Our fee earners were talking about mediation advocacy skills until late into the evening!".

In this unique interactive workshop, our senior mediator Martin Plowman will stage a mock mediation in two hours. Attendees are asked to play the roles of the parties to the dispute and their advisors, but this is a mediation with a difference.
You'll get to see what's happening in both rooms, and get a real sense of what drives a mediation. Martin takes the building blocks of a mediation apart, and will stop the workshop to allow opportunities for discussion, and to focus on mediation advocacy skills: how to prepare your case and your client, presenting and arguing your position, shifting the other party, dealing with deadlock and other strategies and tactics.
This workshop is always popular and thought provoking:
