Online Mediation is NOT Mediation Online

https://youtu.be/zeKHynMKyyw Click link or go to www.sydneybarrister.net.au/blog/ Online mediation is a new process, its not just taking face to face mediations and applying the same principles to an online platform. I provide practical suggestions to assist practitioners on how to get the most out of online mediations and secondly, I provide advice on how to cope with the situation we are all faced with now, so that we can perform with excellence, each day. Its a choice. My offer of 50% off my usual day rate still applies, to use my dispute resolution skills, to assist the community and lawyers who are under financial stress and uncertainty.
