Establishing links between legal professions in Britain and Eastern Europe
SJ Berwin LLP and Mediation and Law Centre with support of the Association of Russian Lawyers and the Anglo-Russian Law Association are organising a conference on Mediation as a method of resolving commercial disputes, to be held on 12 October 2007 at the Moscow District Arbitration Court.
Mediation is gradually integrating into the business tool kit of Russian companies. This is caused not only by the necessity of being involved in international activity, but by positive trends within Russian business and society as a whole.
The conference Mediation in resolving commercial disputes will provide an opportunity to familiarise the participants with extensive experience of English practitioners in the field. Mediation has become one of the most popular methods of dispute resolution in Britain.
David Shapiro, who is a well known mediator in Britain and the USA, will be one of the speakers at the event. David is a member of the Panel of Independent Mediators, solicitor, accredited member of The Centre of Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR) and a member of the International Academy of Mediators.
Other speakers at the conference will include English solicitors and Russian lawyers with experience in alternative dispute resolution.
The conference will include a practical demonstration (mock case) of resolving complicated commercial disputes. We look forward to seeing you at the conference.
