On the 12th May Brick Court Chambers held a Mediation Symposium. Guests had been invited to complete a short online survey and then to attend the symposium to discuss the results.

The questions discussed were:

In commercial mediation, what works and what doesn't work for you? How would you suggest mediation can be improved?
How is mediation changing? To what extent is it becoming a more protracted, "long-tail" process? What more can mediators do to help you as things change?
Does the commercial world make proper use of mediation now? How much resistance do you still see to the idea of mediation?
How likely do you think it is that we may reach the point of "peak mediation"? Are we there already? What more do commercial clients need from mediators?
