Mediation Advocacy
The true function of a lawyer (is) to unite the parties riven asunder.
M. K. Gandhi
The Program
This Mediation Advocacy course is designed for attorneys who would like to expand their range of professional services to include effectively representing clients in mediation. Mediation Advocacy differs from traditional litigation advocacy and the attorney of today needs to master the skills to help their clients win at mediation.
We build on your education and experience as an attorney and help you expand your skills in a new direction, one that will add value for your clients and your legal practice. This course redefines what it means to obtain a successful outcome for your client while providing the best practices on how to represent your client’s interests in the mediation room. While lawyers roles may differ from country to country, this course is designed to develop mediation advocacy skills for Indian lawyers, regardless of their specialty areas of practice.
