In this special episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, produced in
partnership with the Mediator Standards Board, we explore the
importance of upskilling in mediation in the current market.
Host Jerome Doraisamy is joined by Mediator Standards Board deputy
chair Stephen Dickinson and treasurer Linda Kochanski to discuss
the role of mediation in an evolving professional services
marketplace, the extent to which lawyers are upskilling in
mediation, the environmental factors driving legal practitioners
towards mediation, and how such training offers a competitive
edge.
Mr Dickinson and Ms Kochanski also delve into the extent to which
accreditation is applicable across the board, how it offers a
broader and more holistic approach to daily legal practice and
service delivery, the skills and characteristics to be gleaned,
arguments for investing in such training, and making time for
professional development.
