It is a well-known fact that the number of shareholder disputes and warranty claims increases in a challenging economic climate.

Why you should attend

Rather than gearing up to deal with the potential impact of litigation - whether in terms of cost or reputation damage, many businesses are increasingly looking towards alternative methods of dispute resolution to deal with the fall-out of such proceedings. Of these methods, mediation is fast emerging as the leading solution for businesses looking to settle legal claims.

Join us for an informative and interactive mock mediation, in which the members of North West Mediation Solutions will give:

• a brief introduction to mediation and the benefits of this form of dispute resolution;
• a role play a typical shareholder dispute scenario which will explore the possible stumbling blocks preventing an agreement between warring parties and provide a dramatic insight into the methods used by independent mediators to resolve them;
• explain the tactics at each stage, and
• demonstrate both good and bad practice in the role play sessions.

The event is designed in a light hearted form to give the attendees a quick, but effective view of how mediation can be used to achieve an acceptable compromise of your client’s case.
