Mediation Training Programme

RICS mediation training is pragmatic and practical and teaches mediators to think:

Analytically

Helping parties to analyse the circumstances, law, evidence, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of their case to empower them to make pragmatic and viable settlement decisions.

Commercially

The training encompasses commercial and legal realities to provide a flexible settlement, which courts or arbitration cannot do.

Restoratively

Mediation focuses on restoring the business relationship between parties and proceedings are completely confidential, to limit any further damage.

As an Expert

With many years’ experience and expertise in the field of disputes, our mediators help parties reach a common settlement, or help narrow the issues in the dispute, reducing court or arbitration costs.
