Mediation, a crucial part of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), is now actively encouraged across all areas of law, so it is imperative that practitioners, regardless of their area of specialism, have the knowledge, skills and confidence required to conduct mediation successfully.

Although it can prove difficult to source ADR training online, Datalaw do offer a small selection of dispute resolution and mediation CPD webinars. Accessible using any internet connected device for a period of 12-months, our courses are perfect for busy practitioners seeking online mediation training for lawyers.

Predominately delivered by expert lecturer Peter Causton, who specialises in civil mediation training delivery, our mediation and dispute resolution courses are a mixture of useful introductory sessions and in-depth 1-hour courses.

Titles such as Online Dispute Resolution are ideal for paralegals, legal executives and trainees, whilst our Preparing for and Attending a Mediation course, which discusses when to mediate and the factors to consider when selecting a mediator, is perfect for more experienced practitioners as it provides practical hints and tips on how to avoid common stumbling blocks such as a confidentiality requirement being introduced late on in the negotiations.

Datalaw are currently in the process of expanding our range of mediation courses for solicitors and aim to have several new dispute resolution and mediation courses available to view by the end of the year.
