Having looked at The Rise of Co Mediation in Mega Mediations last month and the challenges such cases pose for mediators, let’s get a little closer to the inner workings of these mediations, especially at the intake stage.
So many moving parts – the people, the paper, the posturing – like a long haul plane sitting on the tarmac, how do these huge mediations ever get off the ground?
Well, they are surprisingly graceful once airborne and if done right, mega mediations become manageable as part of a well designed mediation process – because it is only really mediation (arbitration can’t, litigation can’t) that can provide a comparatively efficient platform for an all-party resolution of multi party, multi issue (often cross border) legal disputes.
