Mediating the Non-Litigated Dispute

Doug Noll & Lee Jay Berman

Expand your practice in this ground breaking new course.

Mediating the Non-Litigated Dispute shows you how to apply your mediation skills to mediating the complex business deals and non-litigated business disputes. You will learn how this style of mediation is different from mediating litigated cases, including how to conduct critical pre-work and diagnostic services, secrets of convening when it's purely voluntary, how to decide who should attend, structuring the process, creating the agenda, facilitating the communication, using a lot of joint session and interest-based negotiation processes, working on agreements, and how to market, price, bid, and bill for these services. Simulations include mediating complex, non-litigated business disputes, including separation and non-separation scenarios, conducting strategic facilitations between potential corporate partners, and facilitating pre-dispute complex construction “partnering” sessions.

Who should attend: Mediators, transactional and litigation attorneys, corporate counsel, business affairs directors, senior management teams, and human resources VP's.
