At this year's LIDW, we participated in a panel considering "Mediation in the litigation process - an international perspective".

As the UK slowly moves towards compulsory mediation, this panel considers various approaches to mediation under a comparative lens from the perspective of different jurisdictions around the world. This panel includes next generation lawyers from across the globe including the UK, USA, Singapore, and Switzerland.

Speakers included Catherine Penny (Stevens & Bolton), Hannah Fry (39 Essex Chambers), Yuankai Lin (Reynolds Porter Chamberlain) , Benjamin Wilson (Holland & Knight) and Gabriel Hannotin (Gide Loyrette Nouel).
