Mediation
Commercial mediation is almost always completely confidential. What happens in the room stays in the room. That means most people who attend a mediation, advise at one, or conduct one have never had the opportunity to see how others handle the same situations they face.

This Whitcombe Mediation series changes that. Filmed at the International Dispute Resolution Centre in London, this six-episode series follows a fictional but realistic family business dispute through every stage of the mediation day, with each stage shown badly and then well, and with commentary from Robin Somerville and leading mediator Stephen Walker explaining exactly what is happening and why. Whether you are preparing to attend a mediation, advising a client who is, developing your skills as a mediator or mediation advocate, or simply curious about how commercial dispute resolution works from the inside, this is your rare opportunity to find out.

Here is a glossary and here is a transcript for the whole series.
