You can have a mediation where everyone turns up prepared, and it still doesn’t settle.
Just a long day.
Offers going back and forth.
Very little change.
If it settles, it’s right at the end.
Most lawyers see this often enough to recognise the pattern.
What usually makes the difference isn’t the case.
It’s whether the mediation itself has been prepared for.
When it hasn’t, time gets used up without much shifting.
You spend the day managing the room rather than getting a settlement.
And you leave knowing it didn’t need to take that long or be that hard.
Mediation Mastery is a practical workshop for lawyers and barristers focused on preparing for mediation itself, not just the case.
If mediation is part of your practice, this isn’t optional.
It’s the difference between hoping a matter settles and preparing so it does.
That’s Mediation Mastery - information and registration HERE
