Description: Commercial Mediation in Europe is an outstanding treatment of the rapidly evolving landscape of mediation in Europe. Negotiation facilitated by an experienced mediator has repeatedly been proven to be one of the most effective tools for resolving business disputes in ways that further business goals, and offers special benefits in the context of cross-border and cross-cultural disputes. Nevertheless, mediation is far from realising its immense potential among businesses in Europe. Among the barriers to effective use of mediation is the lack of awareness of mediation or its potential applications among corporate and outside counsel. This volume is intended to provide straightforward guidance for lawyers and businesspersons wanting to know more about mediation, its applications, and key resources in various countries of Europe.
