Mediation speed dating

On 19 September 2012 Linklaters on behalf of the Commercial Mediation Group hosted a “mediation speed dating” event, giving litigators and mediators the opportunity to discuss issues relating to mediation in a relaxed yet professional format. Attendees included top tier mediators, as listed in the Legal 500 and Chambers directories, with commercial litigators from 16 member firms of the CMG accepting the invitation to attend.

Litigators had an opportunity to chat with mediators on a one-to-one basis in 8 minute sessions, asking questions about their experience, approach to mediation, topical issues and any other areas of interest. After 8 minutes, the litigators rotated to their next “date” and the process continued. Litigators were able to meet with 8 mediators during the formal part of the evening, with the conversation continuing at an informal reception afterwards. In total, litigators had an opportunity to get to know 19 mediators.
