📣 The International Mediation Institute (IMI) is delighted to support the 33rd edition of the Word Forum of Mediation Centres presented by the International Association of Lawyers - Union Internationale des Avocats UIA! ➡️Established in 2001, the UIA World Forum of Mediation Centres brings together top commercial mediation practitioners, mediation center officers, lawyers, business managers, academics, trainers, and others from 20+ countries, spanning multiple continents, to bring diverse perspectives on the development and use of the mediation process. Whether you are from a place in which mediation is already readily accepted and integrated into the system of dispute resolution, or from one in which the “Dispute Resolution Revolution” is still in a not-yet-fully-accepted stage, there is something of value for you at the Forum. Each one is designed to enhance your knowledge about the mediation process, and to help you identify best practices as a mediator; both of which are accomplished through the various topics in the sessions, typically led by deeply-experienced mediators. We are delighted to announce that Andy Rogers, IMI Board Member, will be speaking at the Forum where he will share his expertise within the “Comparison of Different Mediation Styles and Their Advantages/Disadvantages” Panel.  Secure your spot at this exceptional global event and register before December 17 to get early bird rates! 📅Dates: 17th and 18th of January 2025 🏢Location: Vienna, Austria 🔖Read more and register for the event here: https://lnkd.in/e9xv7xQ2 #UIAWFMC #IMIMediation #internationalmediation

The International Mediation Institute (IMI) and the international mediation community mourn the loss of Michael Leathes, an extraordinary colleague, founding father, mentor, and friend whose contributions have profoundly shaped the dispute resolution field, worldwide. As in-house counsel in leading international corporations, Michael was a frequent user and advocate of mediation services. After retiring in 2007, he had an instrumental role in the establishment and leading of the International Mediation Institute (IMI). Led by his concept of mediative leadership and humbly aware that no institution alone can do justice to Michael’s legacy we have set up a joint memorial page that honours his memory. We encourage you to post your contributions, respects, and testimonials here: https://lnkd.in/di27JEei and join us in celebrating Michael’s life and accomplishments!
