Commercial Mediation: A Passionate Practice
Bryce Jeffery’s thoughts on Mediation have been put into this new book. With his direct experience in facilitating over 1,400 mediated disputes, Bryce has learned much about process, emotion and the other variables in disputes. This is not a “how to” but more about the subtleties a mediator needs to balance, and the need for an occasional hammer.
“Commercial Mediation” is written for fellow legal professionals needing to understand more about Mediation; for legal assistants’ whose contribution can significantly speed up the process toward settlement; for executives and in-house counsel seeking alternatives to heavy-handed litigation; and for those seeking to learn the skills of mediation.
If you need to become familiar with Mediation as a tool to solve legal problems for your organization or a client, this book provides ideas that demonstrate the subtleties. Mediation is appropriate in most situations, and when guided by a skilled practitioner, much can be achieved. Today mediation’s time has come; indeed, it is long overdue.
Local and international surveys show: increased mediations lead to decreased legal fees. Over 70% of commercial mediations achieve success. Aside from litigation costs, additional savings are found in time, reputation and morale. Seeking a path toward peace is much less expensive than preparing for battle.
Bryce Jeffery has seen how “the solitary winner” attitude continually cripples business and personal relations. The core of mediation is the “shared win” and the long-term benefits of small compromises.

• Mediator Selection: 5 Effective Qualities

• The 15 Rules Of Mediation
• Multiparty Mediations & Joint Session
• The Role Of The Legal Assistant: 12 Items To Manage
