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.
