Preparation of the Mediation Process
 Roger takes time to prepare for the mediation process and engage the participants
as far as possible before the first mediation meeting.
Neutral Ground
 Mediation is an informal process that takes place at a neutral site, often the
mediator’s office suite.
Negotiation
 Participants then usually move to separate rooms, and Roger will begin the
negotiation stage by talking to one participant or the other.
Successful Mediation Process
 In a successful mediation process, it is important for participants and their solicitors
to come prepared – they must fully take into account the needs of both sides of the
dispute, not just their own.

4.  Mediation services either for business or partners or families are very
important.
 If you are a lawyer you may have a “favorite” mediator because you like
their style and approach.
 Why do you like them? What qualities are important to you?
 My Mediation Services have developed because of a clear understanding
of what skills I, myself, would expect from a mediator.
 The worse the behavior or participants, the more I’ve learnt.

5.  Trustworthy
 Ruthlessly independent
 Honest and honorable
 Reliable
 Open and transparent
 Intelligent
 Adaptable
 Intuitively understand the dynamics of a negotiating process
 Be able to read people well
 Know when to speak and when not to
 To understand what makes people tick (an not!)

6.  I believe the personal qualities of a mediator are more
important than particular areas of specialism.
 By the time the participants reach mediation the issues have
generally crystallized so any experienced.
 The sooner the participants stop talking about the issues.
 I don’t like mediations which don’t settle; they spoil my day,
even my week.
 I try my best to secure settlement on the day as that’s why I’m
there.
