In Part 2 of this special episode we are joined by Dr Georgina Tsagas , a UK Accredited Mediator and Consultant Solicitor in England & Wales, expert in company law and sustainability, based in London and working across Europe. Dr Tsagas gives a fascinating insight into the use of “mediation” as an alternative legal route to settling disputes. We discuss what mediation is (and isn’t), why clients use this dispute resolution method, the skills needed, and some practical examples of disputes where mediation has been used.   We hear how mediation works practically, from evidence gathering to negotiation and closure, and also how “mediator advocates” can be involved in a mediation process (in addition to the mediators themselves). The skills needed for mediation are explored, and Dr Tsagas offers advice on avenues that can help you build those skills and how to build a career path in this area, including how much experience is often needed to gain such roles.  Finally, some practical examples are given of cases and types of disputes where mediation can be used successfully, ranging from family business disputes to high-stakes commercial negotiations or international conflicts.

Join us this week for three thought-provoking School of Law events! 1️⃣ The Life and Death of Freedom of Expression: A discussion of Richard Moon's new book: 'The Life and Death of Freedom of Expression', which makes the case that the principal threat to public discourse may no longer be censorship, but it is rather the spread of disinformation, which undermines public trust in traditional sources of information and makes engagement between different positions and groups increasingly difficult. 🔗 Click here to sign up: https://lnkd.in/enq8zWmc 2️⃣ Project Unity: Youth Perspectives on Terrorism The event will feature a survivor of the Tavistock Square bombing on 7 July 2005, a former extremist, and a former practitioner - all with differing personal and professional experiences of terrorism. In this discussion, we will focus on how radicalisation can affect young people and the role we can all play in preventing the spread of extremism. 🔗 Click here to sign up: https://lnkd.in/eF5CY566 3️⃣ (B)OrderS Workshop: Vulnerabilities, Special Procedural Needs and the EU New Pact on Migration This workshop will critically engage and discuss the concept of vulnerability and special procedural/reception needs in the context of migration and asylum. It will provide a space to analyse the changes brought about by the EU Pact on Migration and Asylum, assessing the implications of these changes for vulnerable populations and applicants with special procedural/reception needs, including LGBTQ individuals, children, victims of trafficking, victims of torture, and refugees with disabilities. 🔗 Click here to sign up: https://lnkd.in/eiavWbzm
