Alexander Oddy and Jan O’Neill of Herbert Smith Freehills’ London office have published an article in PLC Magazine: Mediation for In-house Lawyers – Preparing for Success.
In-house counsel can play a critical role in the preparation for a mediation – both in working with any external lawyers to shape the mediation process and in briefing and counselling the business representatives who will be attending as decision makers or to facilitate the negotiation. The article highlights the key issues that in-house lawyers should consider when preparing to mediate a dispute, to remove potential obstacles to settlement and maximise the prospects of it achieving a satisfactory result aligned with the business’s legal and commercial strategy.
