Sage Mediation

Sage Mediation and Sage Mediation Institute are happy to share vignettes from our International ADR Seminar held in Bangkok, Thailand earlier this month. The presentations and discussions centred around Thailand’s efforts in international mediation, particularly its move towards signing the Singapore Convention on Mediation. The seminar is a significant element in our efforts to build mediation capacity and awareness in Thailand and the region, with partners like Tilleke & Gibbins, Withers KhattarWong, UDecide Mediation, THAC Thailand Arbitration Center, and the Asian Conflict Resolution Institute. We are grateful to Her Excellency Ms Catherine Wong Ambassador of the Republic of Singapore in the Kingdom of Thailand, for her Opening Remarks.

Sage Mediation was honoured to sign an MOU with the Bangladesh International Arbitration Centre (BIAC) for the joint promotion of international mediation last week.   As Mr Muhammad A.(Rumee) Ali, BIAC Vice Chairman said at the signing ceremony, each nation’s implementation pathway for ADR reforms is unique. Nonetheless, BIAC could leverage on Singapore’s experience in developing our ADR infrastructure.    Mr Aloysius Goh, Sage Mediation CEO, agreed that this MOU must be translated promptly into actionable initiatives. There was much that BIAC could teach Singapore ADR practitioners so that our approach would fit the culture and operational context of Bangladesh.    Through this MOU with the BIAC, we hope to create more opportunities for dispute resolution practitioners to exchange our learning experiences. We are excited by the prospect of developing a platform for Singapore mediators to mediate in Dhaka, and for Bangladeshi mediators to serve in Singapore.   #internationalmediation #SingaporeConventiononMediation #mediationskillsdevelopment #mediation #ADR #arbitrationmediation

Sage Mediation was honored to be invited to PM Lee Hsien Loong's final May Day Rally Address.   Singapore's workers have been the nation's key strategic advantage supporting our development since independence.   However, as PM Lee shared, dark clouds loom on the horizon. Old industries and skills are being disrupted. Companies have had to be restructured and run differently to meet new market conditions and not everyone can keep up easily.   Work is a big part of human identity and dignity. Many of our employment mediations may have ended with financial settlements. But the dollars and cents represent a meeting of practical and spiritual needs for both employee and employer.   Disagreements at the workplace will always exist. For Singapore's progress and happiness, we hope more labour disputes can be amicably resolved and are proud to contribute to this in our own small way.   Happy May Day!   #employmentmediation #labourday

The Sage team wishes everyone a joyous celebration, Selamat Hari Raya!

We have come to the last workshop of the Mediation Advocacy Workshop: Negotiating a Winning Outcome for the Client at Mediation   During any mediation, the advocate plays an important and active part in communicating the client’s priorities and intentions to the mediator and the other party. The ability to be agile and to quickly adapt to new information also enables success.    This workshop looks at how advocates can plan ahead for foreseeable communications and design a strategy that properly leverages on the mediator to make breakthroughs which are advantageous to the client.   Details of the workshop: • Dates: 4 April 2024 • Time: 2:30 pm – 6 pm (GMT+8) • Venue: Hybrid (Online on Zoom or in-person) • CPD Points: - Day 5 (4 April 2024): 3.5 Public CPD Points • Price: - Regular Price: S$200 • Certification Assessment Fee: - Regular Price: S$800   Explore effective communication strategies, adaptability, and mediator leverage for client success. Sign up here: https://bit.ly/MAW-2024   #mediationadvocacy #mediation #internationalmediation #alternativedisputeresolution #ADR

Next up for Mediation Advocacy Workshop: Refining the Mediation Advocacy Strategy   An effective advocacy strategy is predicated on an accurate understanding, not only of the client, but of everyone in the room (and sometimes, even those not in the room!). Having a comprehensive strategy that takes into account the audience of each stage of mediation communication enables the advocate to obtain creative solutions.   This workshop looks at how a well-written case statement and thoughtful pre-mediation discussion can build rapport with the mediator and set the stage for a satisfying process and outcome on the day of the mediation.   Details of the workshop: • Dates: 28 March 2024 • Time: 2:30 pm – 6 pm (GMT+8) • Venue: Hybrid (Online on Zoom or in-person) • CPD Points: - Day 3 (28 March 2024): 3 Public CPD Points • Workshop Price: - Regular Price: S$200 • Certification Assessment Fee: - Regular Price: S$800 Join us in this workshop to gain valuable insights into mediation advocacy and refine your strategy!
